Frequently asked questions about gingham.dot

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for mobile money?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

Should I secure gingham.dot in addition to my main website domain?

Yes. Your main site protects your general brand, but gingham.dot specifically protects the payment-trust layer that .PAY implies for NicNames. Holding both ensures the gingham.dot name cannot be impersonated where money changes hands. https://domain.pay/register

As a payroll platform, how do I register donate.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.

Why is gingham.dot priced higher than the standard $100?

If gingham.dot costs more than the $100 standard rate, the registry has likely classified gingham.dot as a premium name. Amazon Registry Services, the operator of .PAY, sets premium tiers per label, and those fees recur at renewal. Check the exact tier for gingham.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can Amazon Registry reserve or block some .PAY names for loan repayments?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another 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.
