Frequently asked questions about places.dot

What does it mean if a .PAY name is premium for online checkout?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

Will places.dot suit a peer-to-peer money transfer app?

P2P transfer apps thrive on a name people trust to send money, and places.dot states that purpose plainly. Using it for your send and request flows keeps the brand consistent across SMS and social shares. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

Could a lookalike .PAY domain harm customer trust for a mobile wallet team?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

Which comes first for places.dot: validating my mark or paying NicNames?

Validating your mark in the TMCH and obtaining the SMD comes first, because without it NicNames cannot grant trademark priority on places.dot. Only after you have a valid SMD do you complete the priority registration of places.dot. The standard pre-order alternative is listed at $100. Start the right path at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for donation payments?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

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.
