Frequently asked questions about chal.dot
Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for a mobile wallet team?
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.
What is the difference between TMCH and the WHOIS for chal.dot?
TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse that validates marks and issues SMD files for priority claims on names like chal.dot. WHOIS, by contrast, is the public registration directory that shows who currently holds chal.dot after it is registered. One protects rights pre-launch; the other reports the result. Register chal.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
How do I know if merchant.pay is available for point-of-sale payments?
Search the exact .PAY label at domain.pay to see current availability and premium status: https://domain.pay/domains. Availability can change quickly during launch phases, so verify before publishing names, ads or product screens.
Can chal.dot power a split-bill page for groups?
Yes. A restaurant or event can host a split-the-bill page on chal.dot so each guest pays their share at a trusted address. The .PAY name makes the group settlement feel official and simple. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?
A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: 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.
