Frequently asked questions about ched.dot
Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period for fraud prevention?
During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.
Which is better for branding, ched.dot.pay or ched.dot.com?
For payments and fintech, ched.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 ched.dot based on brand fit, not SEO.
Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now when choosing tap.pay?
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.
How do I prove I'm eligible for ched.dot?
Proving eligibility for ched.dot usually means providing accurate registrant details and, where requested, information showing your payment or financial-related intended use. The .PAY registry may run validation checks before activation. domain.pay helps you prepare and submit what's needed; begin at https://domain.pay/register.
For BNPL checkout, how do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
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.
