Frequently asked questions about pupils.dot

For point-of-sale payments, how do I register donate.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 I pursue both pupils.dot and NicNames at once?

Yes. You can pre-order both pupils.dot and NicNames on domain.pay at $100 each, and failed attempts are refundable, so pursuing two candidates is low-risk. This hedges your bet on pupils.dot. Pre-order both at https://domain.pay/register.

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay when choosing settle.pay?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

Can I transfer trademark priority on pupils.dot to another company?

Priority on pupils.dot is anchored to the validated TMCH mark and its SMD, so a change in who can claim it usually follows a transfer of the underlying trademark and TMCH record. The new owner would use their own valid SMD for pupils.dot. Sort out the mark ownership first, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Should a remittance app protect its exact brand in .PAY for rent collection?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

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.
