Frequently asked questions about chord.dot

What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY for BNPL checkout?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

When will I be refunded if chord.dot loses a contention set?

If chord.dot loses a registry contention set, the attempt is marked failed and refunded under our stated policy once the outcome is confirmed. Funds return to your original payment method on its usual timeline. Read about contention handling for chord.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For online checkout, could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

How do I migrate an existing site onto chord.dot without downtime?

Stand up the new site on chord.dot at a low TTL, validate it on a staging hostname, then flip DNS and 301 every old URL to its match on chord.dot. Submit a change of address in Search Console and keep the old certificate valid through the cutover. Monitor chord.dot for crawl errors afterward.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for fraud prevention for fraud prevention?

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.

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.
