Frequently asked questions about matching.dot
What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for crypto payments?
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.
How does the trademark claims notice apply to matching.dot?
During the registry's claims phase, if matching.dot matches a record in the Trademark Clearinghouse, you may receive a claims notice before matching.dot is registered, acknowledging the trademark holder's rights. domain.pay surfaces this in the flow for matching.dot. Proceed at https://domain.pay/register.
Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for digital wallets?
An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.
Does pre-ordering matching.dot guarantee I will get the name?
Pre-ordering matching.dot reserves your place in line but does not guarantee allocation, because more than one party may request matching.dot or the registry may apply its own rules. If your attempt fails, the pre-order fee is refundable per the stated policy. Place your pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.
As a travel booking brand, what happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY?
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. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.
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.
