Frequently asked questions about api.dot
For online checkout, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
Does Amazon Registry Services pre-screen who can register api.dot?
Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY registry and sets its policies, but registry operation does not automatically reserve api.dot for NicNames. Trademark holders gain advantage through TMCH priority, not through automatic screening, so you should actively claim api.dot. https://domain.pay/register
Should I defensively register my brand in .PAY for donation payments?
If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.
How can a gym or studio use api.dot?
A gym can route memberships, drop-in classes, and renewals through api.dot so members always pay on one trusted address. The .PAY name fits cleanly on door signage and class schedules. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
Where can I see already-registered .PAY domains for point-of-sale payments?
Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.
Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
