Frequently asked questions about holder.dot
Are short .PAY names always available for BNPL checkout?
Short .PAY names are attractive but can be registered, premium, reserved or blocked. Do not assume availability from length alone. Search at domain.pay and verify before building a campaign: https://domain.pay/domains.
How should I think about holder.dot versus buying many domain variants?
Instead of stacking many extensions, holder.dot gives you one purpose-built payment address that says what it does. It focuses your spend on the name customers will actually use to pay holder.dot. Compare available options at /domains.
Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration when choosing link.pay?
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 pre-order pricing for holder.dot compare to trademark priority?
A standard pre-order for holder.dot is listed at $100, while trademark-priority registration of holder.dot follows NicNames's published pricing and requires a valid SMD. The priority path is for validated rights holders; pre-order is open to anyone. Compare the two side by side at https://domain.pay/pricing.
As a bank or credit union, how do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?
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.
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.
