Frequently asked questions about connecting.dot

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for a donation platform?

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 I start the SMD process for connecting.dot if my trademark is in another country?

Yes. The TMCH accepts qualifying marks from many jurisdictions, so a validated foreign trademark can yield an SMD to claim connecting.dot, provided it matches the connecting.dot string. NicNames honours that SMD regardless of the issuing country for connecting.dot. Begin your priority registration at https://domain.pay/register.

What are good .PAY domain ideas for digital wallets?

For digital wallets, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

What if a competitor already pre-ordered connecting.dot?

If a competitor already pre-ordered connecting.dot, domain.pay can suggest related connecting.dot names and catalog alternatives so you can secure a distinct, available option. Acting on a close variant early keeps your branding clear. Find alternatives at https://domain.pay/domains.

Is .PAY already open to everyone for loan repayments?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
