Frequently asked questions about payola.dot

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration when choosing tap.pay?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

How do I prepare a trademark claim for payola.dot?

To prepare a trademark claim for payola.dot, record your mark in the TMCH and obtain your SMD file ahead of the sunrise phase, then let domain.pay submit payola.dot. Starting early avoids missing the window. Begin preparation at https://domain.pay/register.

As a crypto or DeFi product, how do I register tap.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.

Is payola.dot available for immediate purchase today?

Whether payola.dot is available immediately depends on the registry's launch phase; many .PAY names are still in pre-order rather than open registration. The flow on domain.pay tells you the current status of payola.dot. Check availability for payola.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for digital wallets?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

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.
