Frequently asked questions about approved.dot
Can I use .PAY for redirects to my existing checkout for crypto payments?
Yes, you can use a .PAY domain as a clean branded entry point or redirect to an existing checkout, but implement redirects, SSL and tracking carefully. First secure or pre-order the label through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Can trademark holders skip the queue for approved.dot?
Trademark holders do not skip the queue so much as use a separate, earlier phase: sunrise. With a TMCH-validated mark and SMD file, you can register approved.dot before general availability even opens. domain.pay handles the submission, explained at https://domain.pay/register.
Where should I check whether a .PAY name fits my crypto payments project?
For crypto payments, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
Is there a deadline to pre-order approved.dot?
Pre-orders for approved.dot are accepted up until its phase opens, but the practical deadline is sooner the more contested the name is, since queue order can matter. Acting now avoids missing the window. Pre-order approved.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Can a trademark holder challenge a bad .PAY Sunrise registration for an insurance billing portal?
.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.
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.
