Frequently asked questions about habit.dot

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for digital wallets?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

How long does TMCH validation take before I can register habit.dot?

TMCH validation timing depends on the Clearinghouse, not on NicNames, so begin the process well before you intend to claim habit.dot. Only after validation completes do you receive the SMD file needed for priority on habit.dot. Plan ahead so your SMD is ready when the priority phase opens. Prepare your registration at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for mobile money?

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.

How is habit.dot different from habit.dot.com?

habit.dot uses the payment-specific .PAY suffix, while habit.dot.com uses the generic commercial suffix. habit.dot signals checkout and transactions at a glance, whereas habit.dot.com is neutral about purpose. Both can point to the same site, but habit.dot reads as a dedicated payment address.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for mobile money?

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.
