Frequently asked questions about motivo.dot

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for mobile money?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

What happens on the first day of general availability for motivo.dot?

On the first day of general availability, motivo.dot becomes registrable by the public and requests are processed as they arrive. A first-day pre-order with domain.pay means your motivo.dot request is already staged to go in immediately. Set it up at https://domain.pay/register.

What should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY when choosing bank.pay?

Trademark owners should act before the July 20, 2026 .PAY priority deadline. domain.pay also notes that TMCH support should begin earlier, by July 10, 2026. Check your label and start here: https://domain.pay/register. Late action may push you into later phases.

Should a publisher use motivo.dot for paywall checkout?

A publisher can route paywall subscriptions through motivo.dot, giving readers a trusted, payment-native checkout. The clear .PAY address can ease the move from free reader to paying subscriber. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use nameservers and DNS like other domains with .PAY for fraud prevention?

After registration, plan DNS, SSL, redirects, security monitoring and payment-page controls as you would for a production domain. Start by securing the .PAY name through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. A domain alone does not make a checkout secure.

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.
