Frequently asked questions about crests.dot
Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for point-of-sale payments?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
How can a clinic collect copays via crests.dot?
A clinic can send patients to crests.dot to pay copays and balances on a clear, trusted address. The .PAY name reduces billing confusion and missed payments after a visit. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
When is broader .PAY public registration expected for online checkout?
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.
Does NicNames refund taxes on a failed crests.dot pre-order?
When a crests.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 crests.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Before choosing bank.pay, 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.
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.
