Frequently asked questions about gopa.dot

For digital wallets, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

What if someone else pre-orders gopa.dot before my priority claim?

A standard pre-order does not outrank trademark priority, so if you hold a valid SMD for the gopa.dot mark, your priority claim on gopa.dot is processed ahead of that pre-order. The pre-order is refundable per policy if it cannot be fulfilled. Validated rights come first for gopa.dot. Claim yours at https://domain.pay/register.

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for point-of-sale payments?

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.

Does the TMCH charge me anything to enable an SMD for gopa.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse sets its own fees for recording and validating your mark, independent of NicNames's registration pricing for gopa.dot. NicNames's standard pre-order for gopa.dot is listed at $100, separate from any TMCH costs. Plan for both when pursuing priority on gopa.dot. See registrar pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Before choosing bank.pay, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

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.
