Frequently asked questions about circl.dot
As a crypto or DeFi product, what happens if another trademark holder already registered my .PAY idea?
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.
Does circl.dot replace my payment processor?
No. circl.dot is an address, not a payment processor; it points customers to whatever gateway you use, such as Stripe or PayPal. circl.dot handles branding and discovery while the processor handles the money. You can register circl.dot and keep your current provider via /register.
Can Amazon Registry reserve or block some .PAY names when choosing subscriptions.pay?
The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.
What happens to my circl.dot pre-order if a trademark holder claims it?
If a validated TMCH holder claims circl.dot during the priority phase with a valid SMD, their claim takes precedence and your standard pre-order cannot be fulfilled. In that case your pre-order charge for circl.dot is refundable per the published policy. You are not charged for a name you cannot receive. Read the policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL for online checkout?
merchant.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.
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.
