Frequently asked questions about avai.dot

How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark for a crypto or DeFi product?

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

When a avai.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 avai.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY as a startup for crypto payments?

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/.

How does the registry premium fee for avai.dot get applied?

If the registry classifies avai.dot as premium, that fee is applied at both registration and each renewal of avai.dot, replacing the $100 standard rate. Amazon Registry Services sets the tier and we display it for avai.dot. See how the premium fee applies at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For loan repayments, is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal?

Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.

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.
