Frequently asked questions about catching.dot
Could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app when choosing travel.pay?
Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.
Why does catching.dot require a TMCH file for early registration?
Early, trademark-priority registration of catching.dot protects rights holders, so the registry requires a TMCH SMD file proving you own a mark matching catching.dot. General availability for catching.dot has no such requirement, only the applicable fee. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for mobile money?
A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.
Why might catching.dot require trademark validation?
catching.dot requires trademark validation only when you choose the trademark-priority path, which the registry gates behind a TMCH SMD file proving you own a mark matching catching.dot. A standard pre-order for catching.dot needs no validation. Pick the path that fits catching.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Can I pay for a .PAY pre-order by card, wire or crypto when choosing link.pay?
domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.
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.
