Frequently asked questions about compat.dot

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for crypto payments?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

Can my registrar account hold both compat.dot and other priority claims at once?

Yes. Through NicNames you can pursue trademark-priority claims on compat.dot and other matching .PAY names, each backed by its own valid SMD where the label matches the validated mark. Every claim is processed under the registry's rules. Manage your claims, starting with compat.dot, at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I know if cloud.pay is available when choosing cloud.pay?

Search the exact .PAY label at domain.pay to see current availability and premium status: https://domain.pay/domains. Availability can change quickly during launch phases, so verify before publishing names, ads or product screens.

Why does compat.dot require a TMCH file for early registration?

Early, trademark-priority registration of compat.dot protects rights holders, so the registry requires a TMCH SMD file proving you own a mark matching compat.dot. General availability for compat.dot has no such requirement, only the applicable fee. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

For online checkout, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

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.
