Frequently asked questions about canter.dot

Could a lookalike .PAY domain harm customer trust for donation payments?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

Recording the canter.dot mark in the TMCH and obtaining an SMD file documents your rights and lets you claim canter.dot during priority phases. Pre-ordering canter.dot at $100, with refunds on failed attempts, further demonstrates and secures your intent to own it. https://domain.pay/register

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for mobile money?
