Frequently asked questions about chapeau.dot

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for BNPL checkout?

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 VIP fee for prioritizing chapeau.dot?

The VIP priority handling fee for chapeau.dot is shown alongside the registration rate at checkout and is separate from the $100 standard or premium chapeau.dot fee. It buys faster queue placement, not a guaranteed outcome for chapeau.dot. See the current VIP fee at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken for a regional bank?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

Why is securing chapeau.dot a smart first move for a new NicNames?

A new NicNames has no established defenses, so claiming chapeau.dot early prevents squatters from anchoring to the chapeau.dot name as you grow. A $100 refundable pre-order makes this a low-risk first move toward payment trust. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

For online checkout, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

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.
