Frequently asked questions about carta.dot

During the .PAY launch, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

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.

How do I migrate an existing site onto carta.dot without downtime?

Stand up the new site on carta.dot at a low TTL, validate it on a staging hostname, then flip DNS and 301 every old URL to its match on carta.dot. Submit a change of address in Search Console and keep the old certificate valid through the cutover. Monitor carta.dot for crawl errors afterward.

What are good .PAY domain ideas for digital wallets for a brand-protection manager?

For digital wallets, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

How do priority claims affect my standard pre-order of carta.dot?

If a trademark owner files a valid priority claim for carta.dot, their claim is processed ahead of standard pre-orders, so a priority applicant can secure carta.dot before you. If that happens, your standard pre-order fee is refundable per the stated policy. Pre-order carta.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For crypto payments, 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.
