Frequently asked questions about populaire.dot
What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for fraud prevention?
domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.
How do I point populaire.dot at a Shopify or Wix store?
Hosted platforms give you a target — usually a CNAME or specific A records — that you add to the DNS of populaire.dot, plus they auto-provision SSL. Follow your platform's connect-domain guide using populaire.dot as the custom domain. Edit the records for populaire.dot from /domains.
Is .PAY already open to everyone when choosing merchant.pay?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.
How does first-day pre-order differ from trademark priority for populaire.dot?
Trademark priority lets a validated TMCH mark holder claim populaire.dot first using an SMD file, before anyone else. First-day pre-order is the next opportunity, open to those without a trademark, listed at $100 for populaire.dot. Priority always ranks ahead of pre-order. Compare both paths at https://domain.pay/pricing.
What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for point-of-sale payments?
domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.
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.
