Frequently asked questions about kts.dot

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.

Why would a business choose kts.dot over a .com address?

kts.dot communicates payment intent in the name itself, which a generic .com cannot do. For checkout pages, invoices, or pay-now links, kts.dot is shorter and more memorable than appending /pay to a long .com URL. Many .com equivalents are also already taken, while kts.dot may still be available at /register.

How do I register a .PAY domain as a startup for BNPL checkout?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

Does the TMCH charge me anything to enable an SMD for kts.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse sets its own fees for recording and validating your mark, independent of NicNames's registration pricing for kts.dot. NicNames's standard pre-order for kts.dot is listed at $100, separate from any TMCH costs. Plan for both when pursuing priority on kts.dot. See registrar pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Could a lookalike .PAY domain harm customer trust for a mobile wallet team?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

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.
