Frequently asked questions about prepay.dot

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now when choosing loans.pay?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Should a publisher use prepay.dot for paywall checkout?

A publisher can route paywall subscriptions through prepay.dot, giving readers a trusted, payment-native checkout. The clear .PAY address can ease the move from free reader to paying subscriber. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

For loan repayments, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for 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.

Where can I pre-order prepay.dot to protect the NicNames name?

You can pre-order prepay.dot directly through domain.pay, with a standard pre-order fee of $100 and refunds on failed attempts. Securing prepay.dot this way puts the official prepay.dot payment name under NicNames's control. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY as a startup for a regional bank?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For BNPL checkout, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.

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.
