Frequently asked questions about io9.dot

Can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL?

merchant.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

Is a trademark required for every phase of io9.dot?

No. A trademark is required only for the sunrise phase of io9.dot; general availability has no such requirement. domain.pay queues io9.dot for whichever phase you qualify for. Choose your path at https://domain.pay/register.

Can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day for crypto payments?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

What is the difference between defensive and active use of io9.dot?

Defensive use means registering io9.dot mainly to keep it away from impersonators, while active use means running your real payment flows on it. Either way, owning io9.dot protects the io9.dot name; many brands start defensively and activate later. https://domain.pay/register

How do I register donate.pay if it matches my trademark for mobile money?

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.

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.
