Frequently asked questions about beginner.dot

For fraud prevention, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Is the refund policy the same for premium beginner.dot pre-orders?

Yes, the stated refund policy covers failed pre-order attempts on beginner.dot whether beginner.dot is standard or premium. A higher premium fee on a failed attempt is refunded the same way as a $100 standard one. Read the policy for beginner.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for digital wallets?

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.

Where do premium and reserved classifications come from for beginner.dot?

They come from the .PAY registry operator, Amazon Registry Services, which maintains the policy lists that mark beginner.dot as premium, reserved, or blocked. domain.pay reflects those lists for beginner.dot at lookup time. Since they can be updated, re-check beginner.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for digital wallets?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

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.
