Frequently asked questions about catbird.dot

How is a .PAY name different from a regular .com for BNPL checkout?

A .PAY name immediately signals a payment-related destination, while .com is more general. For BNPL checkout, that can make the URL easier to understand. Check availability and pre-order options at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. The usual registry and premium-name rules still apply.

What happens on the first day of general availability for catbird.dot?

On the first day of general availability, catbird.dot becomes registrable by the public and requests are processed as they arrive. A first-day pre-order with domain.pay means your catbird.dot request is already staged to go in immediately. Set it up at https://domain.pay/register.

Before choosing donate.pay, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.

Can I register catbird.dot for a future project?

You can typically register catbird.dot for a planned payment or financial project, provided the intended use aligns with the .PAY registry's expectations. The registry generally looks for good-faith, relevant use rather than an active site at registration. domain.pay can register catbird.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For online checkout, can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

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.
