Frequently asked questions about merges.dot

As a mobile wallet team, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

How can I verify that merges.dot is genuinely owned by NicNames?

Publish merges.dot from your official, verified channels and reference it consistently so customers can cross-check the merges.dot address against known NicNames sources. Owning merges.dot yourself is what makes such verification meaningful. Claim it at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I know about Amazon Registry and .PAY before registering for fraud prevention?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A retail brand can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.

How do I prevent merges.dot from being indexed during development?

Add an X-Robots-Tag or meta noindex to the staging version of merges.dot, or block crawlers in robots.txt, and ideally put it behind HTTP auth. Remove these once merges.dot is ready so search engines can index the live site. Never ship noindex to production by accident on merges.dot.

For digital wallets, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

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.

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.
