Frequently asked questions about comparing.dot
Can a trademark holder challenge a bad .PAY Sunrise registration for invoice collection?
.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.
Should a publisher use comparing.dot for paywall checkout?
A publisher can route paywall subscriptions through comparing.dot, giving readers a trusted, payment-native checkout. The clear .PAY address can ease the move from free reader to paying subscriber. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.
As a checkout product manager, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
What ongoing requirements apply after registering comparing.dot?
After registering comparing.dot, ongoing obligations mainly involve keeping accurate registrant data and renewing on time, while continuing to use the name consistent with .PAY expectations. Separate payment-licensing duties, if any, depend on your operations. domain.pay outlines renewal and expectations at https://domain.pay/pricing.
How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain for point-of-sale payments?
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.
