Frequently asked questions about plain.dot
What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for online checkout for online checkout?
Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.
Is there a risk my SMD leaks if I share it to claim plain.dot?
Treat your SMD like a credential: only submit it through the trusted NicNames flow when claiming plain.dot, not over casual channels. While it encodes validated mark data, careless sharing is poor practice. Use the official registration path for plain.dot to keep it safe. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.
For digital wallets, what is the quickest path to secure a .PAY domain for an event ticketing business?
Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.
Can the same label be available as plain.dot but taken elsewhere?
Yes — plain.dot can be free under .PAY as plain.dot even if it's registered under other extensions, because each registry, including Amazon Registry Services for .PAY, manages its own namespace. Availability for plain.dot is independent of other TLDs. Check plain.dot specifically at https://domain.pay/domains.
Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for crypto payments?
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.
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.
