Frequently asked questions about punching.dot
As an event ticketing business, can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1?
An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.
How do I confirm punching.dot qualifies for the $100 rate before paying?
Before paying, enter punching.dot on our pricing page; if the registry has not flagged punching.dot as premium, the page shows the $100 standard rate, otherwise it shows the premium fee. This lets you confirm punching.dot pricing in advance. Verify it at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Can I use .PAY for redirects to my existing checkout for mobile money?
Yes, you can use a .PAY domain as a clean branded entry point or redirect to an existing checkout, but implement redirects, SSL and tracking carefully. First secure or pre-order the label through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Can a trademark holder claim punching.dot before others?
Yes — with a valid TMCH SMD file proving a trademark on punching.dot, you can register punching.dot during the registry's trademark-priority phase before standard applicants. domain.pay offers this priority path. Begin the trademark claim for punching.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
For payroll disbursements, what should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY?
Trademark owners should act before the July 20, 2026 .PAY priority deadline. domain.pay also notes that TMCH support should begin earlier, by July 10, 2026. Check your label and start here: https://domain.pay/register. Late action may push you into later phases.
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.
