Frequently asked questions about indiemerch.dot

Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY for secure payment links?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

How does trademark priority affect getting indiemerch.dot?

Trademark holders can get priority on indiemerch.dot during the relevant phase by registering a TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file, since .PAY is run by Amazon Registry Services. If you hold the mark for indiemerch.dot, that priority path may apply. Read more and search at https://domain.pay/register.

For BNPL checkout, is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?

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.

What is the difference between standard and first-day pre-order for indiemerch.dot?

A first-day pre-order targets indiemerch.dot for the very first day of general availability, while a standard pre-order at $100 simply queues your request for indiemerch.dot whenever it opens. Both are submitted to the registry on your behalf. Compare options for indiemerch.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For crypto payments, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.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.
