Frequently asked questions about cleanse.dot

Can a donation platform use .PAY for a branded payment page for fraud prevention?

Yes. A donation platform can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Does NicNames refund taxes on a failed cleanse.dot pre-order?

When a cleanse.dot pre-order attempt fails, the refund under our stated policy returns the amount you were charged, including taxes collected on that failed attempt where applicable. NicNames reconciles this with your payment provider. Read the refund terms for cleanse.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For crypto payments, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

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.

Why was .PAY created for payment use?

The .PAY TLD, operated by Amazon Registry Services, was created to give payments and financial services a clearly themed namespace, which is why cleanse.dot may carry payment-related validation expectations. This helps signal trust to users. domain.pay can register cleanse.dot within this namespace at https://domain.pay/register.

How is a .PAY name different from a regular .com for online checkout?

A .PAY name immediately signals a payment-related destination, while .com is more general. For online checkout, that can make the URL easier to understand. Check availability and pre-order options at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. The usual registry and premium-name rules still apply.

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.
