Frequently asked questions about paddle8.dot

What happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY for online checkout?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

How do I set up a 404 and proper status codes on paddle8.dot?

Configure paddle8.dot to return a real 404 for missing pages and 200 for live ones, never a 'soft 404' that returns 200 on an error page. Correct status codes help crawlers index paddle8.dot accurately. Use a helpful 404 page on paddle8.dot with links back to key sections.

For point-of-sale payments, how do I register donate.pay if it matches my trademark?

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.

How do I start the eligibility process for paddle8.dot?

To start the eligibility process for paddle8.dot, begin a registration or pre-order with domain.pay, supply accurate registrant details, and provide a TMCH SMD file if you hold a registered mark. We then submit to the .PAY registry and relay any validation. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration when choosing wallet.pay?

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.
