Frequently asked questions about apps.dot

What should I check technically before launching a .PAY payment site for a retail brand?

Before launching a .PAY payment site, verify the label, DNS, SSL, redirects, monitoring, checkout security and compliance obligations. Secure or pre-order the domain through domain.pay first: https://domain.pay/register. Treat the domain as one part of a trusted payment flow.

Will apps.dot be cheaper during general availability?

Pricing for apps.dot follows the registry and registrar schedule, not the phase, so general availability is not a discount window. The listed pre-order is $100, with failed attempts refundable per policy. See current rates at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration for digital wallets?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

Are nonprofits able to use TMCH priority for apps.dot?

Any entity, including a nonprofit, that holds a validated TMCH trademark for the apps.dot string can use an SMD to claim apps.dot under priority. The path depends on the mark, not the organisation type. Validate your mark first, then claim apps.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

As a checkout product manager, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

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.
