Frequently asked questions about cath.dot
What .PAY name should a payroll platform consider when choosing settle.pay?
settle.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.
Why should a fintech startup register cath.dot early?
Registering cath.dot early through a pre-order secures cath.dot before competitors during the .PAY launch, when desirable payment-related names move quickly. A .PAY address can also clearly signal a payments focus. Reserve cath.dot early at https://domain.pay/register.
Where can I generate .PAY ideas for payroll disbursements?
For payroll disbursements, 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.
What is a sunrise period and does it apply to cath.dot?
A sunrise period is the opening launch phase reserved for trademark owners, letting them claim names like cath.dot before the public. It applies to cath.dot only if you hold a TMCH-validated mark matching the label. Otherwise, general availability is your phase. Details at https://domain.pay/register.
Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for a bank or credit union?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
