Frequently asked questions about earnest.dot

How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark when choosing tap.pay?

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.

How much does it cost to pre-order earnest.dot for brand protection?

The standard pre-order for earnest.dot is $100, and failed attempts are refundable, so the cost of attempting to secure your earnest.dot name is low-risk. See full details and any priority-phase options at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For online checkout, can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline?

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.

Where is trademark priority for earnest.dot explained on the site?

The trademark-priority path for earnest.dot, including the TMCH SMD requirement, is described on the main NicNames pages. You start the SMD-based claim from the registration flow, which walks you through uploading your file. General context lives on the homepage. See it all at https://domain.pay/.

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for digital wallets?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
