Frequently asked questions about bylines.dot
As a donation platform, when does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run?
ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
How do I set up a 301 from www to the bare bylines.dot?
Configure your server or CDN to 301-redirect www.bylines.dot to the bare bylines.dot (or vice versa, whichever you pick as canonical). This consolidates ranking signals on one host of bylines.dot and avoids duplicate indexing. Apply the rule before search engines crawl bylines.dot.
For BNPL checkout, do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?
The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.
How can a QR code campaign use bylines.dot?
Encode bylines.dot into a QR code on posters, receipts, or packaging so a scan lands on a payment page with a name people can also type by hand. The .PAY ending reassures scanners that the destination is a pay step. Get the name at https://domain.pay/register.
Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for a bank or credit union?
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.
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.
