Frequently asked questions about pundits.dot
As a crypto or DeFi product, how do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark?
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.
Can pundits.dot serve as a hosted donation portal for events?
Yes. Spin up an event giving page on pundits.dot so attendees pledge from their phones on a memorable address. A short .PAY name on the stage screen converts better than a cramped gateway link. Reserve it ahead of your event at https://domain.pay/register.
For fraud prevention, is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?
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.
Are there any content restrictions on what pundits.dot can host?
pundits.dot should be used for genuine payment, billing, or transaction purposes consistent with the .PAY namespace and Amazon Registry Services policies. Within those terms, you can host checkout pages, invoices, or redirects on pundits.dot. Review the policy basics before launch.
Where can I see already-registered .PAY domains when choosing merchant.pay?
Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.
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.
