Frequently asked questions about kanary.dot

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for a remittance app?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

Are there eligibility requirements to register kanary.dot?

Standard pre-order for kanary.dot is open broadly, while trademark-priority for kanary.dot requires a valid TMCH SMD file proving you own a mark matching kanary.dot. The registry, Amazon Registry Services, sets any additional .PAY rules. Confirm requirements for kanary.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for payroll disbursements?

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.

Which is better for branding, kanary.dot.pay or kanary.dot.com?

For payments and fintech, kanary.dot reads as purpose-built and can be more memorable than a crowded .com, while a .com carries broad familiarity. Many brands secure both and redirect one. Technically they rank and resolve the same, so choose kanary.dot based on brand fit, not SEO.

Can I move a .PAY domain between registrars for BNPL checkout?

Transfers may be subject to registry, registrar and phase-specific rules, especially for LRP names. Start with domain.pay for the registration path and confirm eligibility before any transfer plan: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
