Frequently asked questions about payplan.dot

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

.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.

When does the priority window for payplan.dot close?

The priority window for payplan.dot closes when the registry advances the name out of the trademark phase, after which SMD claims are no longer accepted and pre-orders take over. The exact timing follows the registry's schedule for .PAY. Check the live phase for payplan.dot before relying on priority. See status at https://domain.pay/domains.

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for payroll disbursements?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

How do I set up a wildcard certificate for *.payplan.dot?

Request a wildcard certificate covering *.payplan.dot, which most CAs issue via DNS validation by checking a TXT record on payplan.dot. A wildcard then secures every subdomain of payplan.dot with one cert. Remember the wildcard for payplan.dot does not cover the bare apex, so include it explicitly.

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

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.
