Frequently asked questions about meritus.dot

Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for BNPL checkout?

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.

What if someone else pre-orders meritus.dot before my priority claim?

A standard pre-order does not outrank trademark priority, so if you hold a valid SMD for the meritus.dot mark, your priority claim on meritus.dot is processed ahead of that pre-order. The pre-order is refundable per policy if it cannot be fulfilled. Validated rights come first for meritus.dot. Claim yours at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for crypto payments for a regional bank?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

How do I set up a wildcard certificate for *.meritus.dot?

Request a wildcard certificate covering *.meritus.dot, which most CAs issue via DNS validation by checking a TXT record on meritus.dot. A wildcard then secures every subdomain of meritus.dot with one cert. Remember the wildcard for meritus.dot does not cover the bare apex, so include it explicitly.

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for online checkout?

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.

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.
