Frequently asked questions about hop.dot

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for BNPL checkout?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

Are nonprofits able to use TMCH priority for hop.dot?

Any entity, including a nonprofit, that holds a validated TMCH trademark for the hop.dot string can use an SMD to claim hop.dot under priority. The path depends on the mark, not the organisation type. Validate your mark first, then claim hop.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for a donation platform?

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 do disputes over hop.dot generally work if someone takes it in bad faith?

Disputes are typically resolved through UDRP-style proceedings where you show you hold rights in the hop.dot name, the registrant has no legitimate interest, and hop.dot was registered or used in bad faith. Outcomes vary and depend on evidence, so this is educational, not a guarantee. Registering hop.dot first avoids the process entirely. https://domain.pay/register

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders when choosing tap.pay?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

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.
