Frequently asked questions about chessgames.dot

For loan repayments, 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.

Will NicNames store my SMD file after registering chessgames.dot?

NicNames uses your SMD file to validate and process your priority claim on chessgames.dot during registration. The SMD itself is tied to your TMCH record, which the Clearinghouse maintains independently. Handle your SMD securely since it represents your validated rights to chessgames.dot. Begin registration at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I move a .PAY domain between registrars for point-of-sale payments?

Transfers may be subject to registry, registrar and phase-specific rules, especially for LRP names. Start with domain.pay for the registration path and confirm eligibility before any transfer plan: https://domain.pay/register.

How does chessgames.dot improve a pay-now button?

A pay-now button that links to chessgames.dot shows a clean, meaningful destination instead of a cryptic processor URL. Customers see they are paying chessgames.dot through chessgames.dot before they click. That transparency can make the button more inviting.

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain when choosing tap.pay?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

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.
