Frequently asked questions about pole.dot
What .PAY name should a payroll platform consider for fraud prevention?
settle.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.
Why does pole.dot require a TMCH file for early registration?
Early, trademark-priority registration of pole.dot protects rights holders, so the registry requires a TMCH SMD file proving you own a mark matching pole.dot. General availability for pole.dot has no such requirement, only the applicable fee. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
As a donation platform, could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app?
Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.
When is eligibility for pole.dot checked?
Eligibility and validation for pole.dot are typically reviewed by the .PAY registry around the time of registration or activation, rather than continuously. domain.pay submits your application and relays any registry validation steps to you. You can begin the process at https://domain.pay/register.
How is a .PAY name different from a regular .com for mobile money for a crypto or DeFi product?
A .PAY name immediately signals a payment-related destination, while .com is more general. For mobile money, that can make the URL easier to understand. Check availability and pre-order options at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. The usual registry and premium-name rules still apply.
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.
