Frequently asked questions about cks.dot

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY right now for a travel booking brand?

For online checkout, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. Re-check the name before publishing campaigns because registry status can change.

Why is cks.dot only available as a pre-order?

cks.dot shows as a pre-order because the .PAY registry has not yet released it for open registration, so we hold your request until it does. .PAY is operated by Amazon Registry Services, which controls launch timing. You can secure your pre-order for cks.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For mobile money, 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.

Does Amazon Registry Services pre-screen who can register cks.dot?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY registry and sets its policies, but registry operation does not automatically reserve cks.dot for NicNames. Trademark holders gain advantage through TMCH priority, not through automatic screening, so you should actively claim cks.dot. https://domain.pay/register

How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark for fraud prevention?

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.

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.
