Frequently asked questions about paycard.dot

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for online checkout?

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.

What is the order of phases that affects paycard.dot: priority, pre-order, general?

For paycard.dot, trademark priority comes first for validated SMD holders, then first-day pre-order opens to others at $100, and finally general registration. Each phase narrows who has the advantage on paycard.dot. Knowing the order helps you pick the right moment. See current phase details at https://domain.pay/.

Where can I generate .PAY ideas for point-of-sale payments?

For point-of-sale payments, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

Should a small business bother with TMCH before registering paycard.dot?

If your small business owns the paycard.dot trademark and wants the strongest claim on paycard.dot, recording it in the TMCH is worthwhile because the SMD grants priority over the public. Without it, you rely on a standard pre-order that a rights holder can outrank. Weigh the priority path against pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for BNPL checkout?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

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.
