Frequently asked questions about kalahari.dot

What .PAY name should a crypto or DeFi product consider for payroll disbursements?

trust.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.

Does kalahari.dot get a trademark claims notice during registration?

When a name like kalahari.dot matches a TMCH-recorded mark, registrants attempting it can receive a trademark claims notice flagging the existing rights. This warns non-owners before they proceed with kalahari.dot. The mechanism relies on the same TMCH data behind SMD priority. Learn more and register at https://domain.pay/register.

As a brand-protection manager, what does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?

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.

Is kalahari.dot useful even if I already have a payment page?

Yes. You can keep your existing payment page and point kalahari.dot at it as a cleaner, more shareable front door for kalahari.dot. Customers get a short address while nothing about your processor changes. Add kalahari.dot to your stack via /register.

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

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

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.
