Frequently asked questions about metalbase.dot

As a fintech founder, what does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?

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.

Should I pre-order metalbase.dot now or wait for general availability?

Pre-ordering metalbase.dot now queues your attempt for the first day of general availability, which matters if others want the metalbase.dot name. Waiting risks someone else registering it first. A failed pre-order is refundable per policy, so review terms on /pricing.

For payroll disbursements, can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.

What evidence does the TMCH need before issuing the SMD I use for metalbase.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse requires proof of a registered, valid trademark and may request a sample of use before issuing the SMD you use for metalbase.dot. Only after that validation is the SMD available. NicNames then accepts that file for priority on metalbase.dot. Prepare your evidence, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken for BNPL checkout?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

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.
