Frequently asked questions about donator.dot

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for point-of-sale payments?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

Does donator.dot support sunrise-style trademark claims through NicNames?

Yes. NicNames offers trademark-priority registration for donator.dot, the .PAY equivalent of a sunrise claim, requiring a valid TMCH SMD file. This lets the verified owner of the donator.dot mark secure donator.dot before general availability. Learn how it works at https://domain.pay/.

How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark for digital wallets?

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.

What happens to customer trust if a scammer controls donator.dot instead of me?

If a scammer holds donator.dot, customers who assume the donator.dot payment name is official may enter card details on a fraudulent page, eroding trust in NicNames. Because .PAY implies a legitimate payment purpose, the deception is more credible. Owning donator.dot keeps that trust where it belongs. https://domain.pay/register

How do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark for a donation platform?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

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.
