Frequently asked questions about crux.dot
As a crypto or DeFi product, is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order?
domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.
Should I buy crux.dot before or after building my product?
Securing crux.dot early locks in the brand-matching name and prevents someone else from taking it while you build. A pre-order for crux.dot is refundable if the attempt fails, so reserving it carries little downside. Start the pre-order for crux.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
When is eligibility for crux.dot checked?
Eligibility and validation for crux.dot are typically reviewed by the .PAY registry around the time of registration or activation, rather than continuously. domain.pay submits your application and relays any registry validation steps to you. You can begin the process at https://domain.pay/register.
For BNPL checkout, how do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?
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.
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.
