Frequently asked questions about foundersfund.dot

Is .PAY a new domain option for insurance billing portals for point-of-sale payments?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For point-of-sale payments, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.

Who is eligible for trademark priority on foundersfund.dot?

Eligibility for trademark priority on foundersfund.dot belongs to parties holding a valid TMCH-validated trademark matching the foundersfund.dot string, evidenced by a current SMD file. Anyone without that SMD must use the standard pre-order path instead. Eligibility is about validated rights, not intent. Check your standing at https://domain.pay/register.

Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for crypto payments for a remittance app?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

Can trademark holders skip the queue for foundersfund.dot?

Trademark holders do not skip the queue so much as use a separate, earlier phase: sunrise. With a TMCH-validated mark and SMD file, you can register foundersfund.dot before general availability even opens. domain.pay handles the submission, explained at https://domain.pay/register.

Is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order for payroll disbursements?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

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.
