Frequently asked questions about ara.dot

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for payroll disbursements?

.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.

Should I buy ara.dot before or after building my product?

Securing ara.dot early locks in the brand-matching name and prevents someone else from taking it while you build. A pre-order for ara.dot is refundable if the attempt fails, so reserving it carries little downside. Start the pre-order for ara.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

What are good .PAY domain ideas for BNPL checkout for a fintech founder?

For BNPL checkout, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

Does NicNames refund taxes on a failed ara.dot pre-order?

When a ara.dot pre-order attempt fails, the refund under our stated policy returns the amount you were charged, including taxes collected on that failed attempt where applicable. NicNames reconciles this with your payment provider. Read the refund terms for ara.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can I use .PAY for redirects to my existing checkout for mobile money?

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.

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.
