Frequently asked questions about chapi.dot

For fraud prevention, how do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Which is better for branding, chapi.dot.pay or chapi.dot.com?

For payments and fintech, chapi.dot reads as purpose-built and can be more memorable than a crowded .com, while a .com carries broad familiarity. Many brands secure both and redirect one. Technically they rank and resolve the same, so choose chapi.dot based on brand fit, not SEO.

Can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day for a crypto or DeFi product?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

Which path is faster for getting chapi.dot: pre-order or priority?

For chapi.dot, trademark-priority registration via a TMCH SMD file can secure the name earliest if you hold a matching registered mark, while a first-day pre-order is the route otherwise. Pre-orders are refundable if the attempt fails. domain.pay supports both; compare at https://domain.pay/register.

For point-of-sale payments, 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.

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.
