Frequently asked questions about recorders.dot

Can a brand-protection manager use .PAY for a branded payment page for crypto payments?

Yes. A brand-protection manager can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

What is first-day pre-order for recorders.dot?

First-day pre-order lets you request recorders.dot for the opening day of general availability, so your application is ready the moment recorders.dot becomes registrable. It is offered alongside standard pre-order on domain.pay. Set up first-day pre-order for recorders.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Is registering .PAY a replacement for trademark monitoring for cross-border payments?

No. Registering .PAY is not a replacement for trademark monitoring, takedowns or fraud controls. It can still reduce customer confusion around your official payment destination. Start by checking key names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

What is the TMCH and how does it affect recorders.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) is a central database of validated trademarks that gatekeeps the sunrise phase. To register recorders.dot during sunrise, your mark must be recorded there with an SMD file. domain.pay submits accordingly, explained at https://domain.pay/register.

For online checkout, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

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.
