Frequently asked questions about apply.dot
Does .PAY have anti-abuse rules for in-app purchases?
Amazon Registry policies include abuse-prevention rules for .PAY, and registrants remain subject to applicable domain dispute and abuse procedures. For legitimate registration or pre-order, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Pair the domain with monitoring, SSL and clear customer messaging.
Are failed registration attempts for apply.dot really refunded?
Yes. If your attempt to secure apply.dot doesn't result in a registration — for instance the name goes to another applicant — that pre-order is refundable. You only pay to keep apply.dot when it's successfully registered to you. Review the refund terms for apply.dot at /pricing.
Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for crypto payments?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
Can I register apply.dot during both Sunrise and general availability?
If you hold a TMCH SMD file for apply.dot, you may attempt apply.dot during Sunrise; if you miss it, you can still pre-order apply.dot for general availability. Each phase has its own rules set by the registry. Choose the right phase for apply.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline for mobile money?
TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.
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.
