Frequently asked questions about encase.dot
Could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app for a brand-protection manager?
Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.
Should I buy encase.dot before or after building my product?
Securing encase.dot early locks in the brand-matching name and prevents someone else from taking it while you build. A pre-order for encase.dot is refundable if the attempt fails, so reserving it carries little downside. Start the pre-order for encase.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for loan repayments?
An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.
What makes encase.dot better than a long checkout URL?
A long checkout URL is hard to remember and easy to mistype, while encase.dot is short, brandable, and self-explanatory. Customers can return to it directly without digging through emails. Reserve the cleaner address at https://domain.pay/register.
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for a brand-protection manager?
If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.
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.
