Frequently asked questions about calico.dot
How does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work for fraud prevention?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
Is identity verification part of getting calico.dot?
Identity or registrant verification can be part of acquiring calico.dot where the .PAY registry's validation calls for it. Requirements may vary by intended use and over time. domain.pay relays any verification steps so you can respond quickly; start at https://domain.pay/register.
Before choosing tap.pay, can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline?
TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.
Is there a priority window for trademark holders on calico.dot?
Yes, that window is sunrise: a priority phase where TMCH-validated trademark owners can register calico.dot before general availability. domain.pay offers trademark-priority registration for calico.dot during this window. Learn more at https://domain.pay/register.
For point-of-sale payments, can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL?
merchant.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.
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.
