Frequently asked questions about locs.dot

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for mobile money?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

Why does locs.dot matter for protecting payment trust specifically?

Payment trust depends on customers being certain they are on the real locs.dot property when they pay. Because .PAY implies payments, controlling locs.dot prevents a fake from intercepting that trust. Holding locs.dot is therefore a direct payment-security control for NicNames. https://domain.pay/register

When is broader .PAY public registration expected for loan repayments?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

How do I renew my TMCH record so I keep priority for locs.dot?

You renew your TMCH record through the Trademark Clearinghouse before it lapses; an active record is what keeps your SMD valid for claiming locs.dot. If the record expires, the SMD stops working and your priority on locs.dot cannot be honoured. Keep it current, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal?

Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.

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.
