Frequently asked questions about openbiz.dot

As a donation platform, how do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

What refund do I get if openbiz.dot goes to a trademark holder?

If a trademark holder secures openbiz.dot during the priority phase and your general-availability pre-order cannot be fulfilled, that failed attempt is refundable under our stated policy. Trademark priority requires a TMCH SMD file. Read how this works for openbiz.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order for fraud prevention?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

Should I secure openbiz.dot before announcing a new payment product?

Yes. Announcing a payment product can alert opportunists to register openbiz.dot before you do, so securing the openbiz.dot name first is wise. A $100 refundable pre-order lets NicNames lock openbiz.dot ahead of any public reveal. https://domain.pay/register

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY with a trademark for digital wallets?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For digital wallets, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.

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.
