Frequently asked questions about branching.dot
Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for a travel booking brand?
A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.
Why did the price of branching.dot change since I last checked?
The price of branching.dot can change if Amazon Registry Services re-tiers branching.dot between standard and premium, since we display the live registry rate. The $100 figure is the standard baseline, not a guaranteed lock. Re-check the current price for branching.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark 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.
Are pre-orders for branching.dot first come, first served?
Standard pre-orders for branching.dot are generally handled in the order received once branching.dot becomes registrable, but trademark-priority claims and registry rules can take precedence. If your pre-order cannot be fulfilled, the fee is refundable per the stated policy. Pre-order branching.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
What happens if another trademark holder already registered my .PAY idea when choosing subscriptions.pay?
Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.
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.
