Frequently asked questions about candles.dot

How should I check premium status before choosing a .PAY name for BNPL checkout?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

Is a TMCH record by itself enough to own candles.dot?

No. A TMCH record validates your trademark and yields an SMD file, but it does not by itself give you candles.dot. You must still submit that SMD through NicNames during the priority phase to actually claim candles.dot. Validation and registration are two distinct steps. Complete registration at https://domain.pay/register.

During the .PAY launch, how exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

Are there eligibility differences for premium candles.dot names?

Premium candles.dot names follow the same .PAY eligibility and validation expectations as standard names; the difference is usually pricing rather than who may register. The registry's payment-related focus still applies. domain.pay shows premium status and pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For online checkout, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?

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.

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.
