Frequently asked questions about backspace.dot

Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period for point-of-sale payments?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

Can I get backspace.dot at the standard rate if it looks generic?

A generic-looking name does not guarantee the standard rate; the registry independently decides whether backspace.dot is premium. So backspace.dot could still carry a higher fee than $100 despite appearing ordinary. Check the actual tier for backspace.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For digital wallets, how do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark?

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.

Why keep a fallback name ready alongside backspace.dot?

Keeping a fallback alongside backspace.dot protects you if your top pre-order doesn't land, since a refundable $100 attempt means a backup adds little risk. domain.pay makes lining up a backspace.dot fallback easy. Set one up at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for online checkout for online checkout?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

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.
