Frequently asked questions about popeye.dot

For mobile money, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?

.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.

Can I change the nameservers on popeye.dot without losing email?

Yes, if you recreate the MX (and SPF/DKIM/DMARC) records at the new DNS host before switching nameservers for popeye.dot. Identical records mean mail keeps flowing through the cutover of popeye.dot. Verify popeye.dot's email after the change by sending a test message.

As a bank or credit union, can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL?

subscriptions.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.

Which costs more upfront for popeye.dot: standard or VIP?

VIP costs more upfront for popeye.dot because it adds a one-time priority handling fee on top of the registration rate, whether that rate is the $100 standard or a premium popeye.dot fee. Standard checkout omits the VIP line. Compare both for popeye.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What should I check technically before launching a .PAY payment site for online checkout?

Before launching a .PAY payment site, verify the label, DNS, SSL, redirects, monitoring, checkout security and compliance obligations. Secure or pre-order the domain through domain.pay first: https://domain.pay/register. Treat the domain as one part of a trusted payment flow.

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.
