Frequently asked questions about connectthings.dot

Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period for point-of-sale payments?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

Can I get a partial refund on connectthings.dot after registration?

Partial refunds are not offered once connectthings.dot is successfully registered, because the registry has allocated and charged for the full annual term. Refunds apply only to failed pre-order attempts on connectthings.dot under our stated policy. Read the terms at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order for crypto payments?

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.

Can a partner registrar like NicNames help me register connectthings.dot?

Yes. domain.pay works with partner registrar NicNames to handle the back-end registration of connectthings.dot within the .PAY registry. You place your pre-order or priority request for connectthings.dot through domain.pay, and NicNames processes it. Start your connectthings.dot order at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for crypto payments for a regional bank?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

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.
