Frequently asked questions about detonate.dot

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility when choosing wallet.pay?

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.

Why might detonate.dot be taken before I can register it?

If detonate.dot is attractive, a trademark holder could claim it during sunrise or another registrant could grab it on the first day of general availability. Pre-ordering detonate.dot now with domain.pay is the best way to compete for it. Act at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

What happens if I let detonate.dot expire after registering it?

If detonate.dot lapses, it can be re-registered by someone else, reopening the impersonation risk you closed. Keep detonate.dot renewed so the detonate.dot name stays continuously under NicNames's control. Manage your registration at https://domain.pay/.

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for a donation platform?

.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.
