Frequently asked questions about gast.dot

For fraud prevention, how do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark?

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 does gast.dot fit a deposit-and-balance model?

For businesses that take a deposit then a final balance, gast.dot hosts both steps on the same trusted address. Customers recognize the .PAY name across the two payments, reducing friction on the second. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP when choosing tap.pay?

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.

Where do I get the SMD file needed to secure gast.dot?

You obtain the SMD file from the Trademark Clearinghouse after your trademark is recorded and validated there. Once issued, you download the .smd file and bring it to NicNames to claim gast.dot under priority. NicNames does not issue SMD files itself. Start your priority registration of gast.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I reserve brand.pay before broader registration opens for loan repayments?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

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.
