Frequently asked questions about encounters.dot

What characters are allowed in a .PAY domain for digital wallets?

.PAY labels must follow registry label rules, including 1–63 characters, letters, numbers and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen, and additional IDN/reserved-name rules. Test the exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Technical validity does not guarantee availability.

How do I point encounters.dot at a Shopify or Wix store?

Hosted platforms give you a target — usually a CNAME or specific A records — that you add to the DNS of encounters.dot, plus they auto-provision SSL. Follow your platform's connect-domain guide using encounters.dot as the custom domain. Edit the records for encounters.dot from /domains.

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain for digital wallets?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

Are there priority phases that let NicNames get encounters.dot first?

Yes. Trademark holders can use TMCH-verified SMD files during priority phases to claim encounters.dot before general availability. This gives NicNames a structured, legitimate path to secure encounters.dot ahead of the open public. Review options at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline for digital wallets?

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.

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.
