Frequently asked questions about rug.dot

Before choosing link.pay, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

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.

Will rug.dot work as a tip jar for a food truck?

A food truck can post rug.dot so customers pay and tip from their phones without cash. The short payment-native name is easy to read off a window sticker. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.

Is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order when choosing wallet.pay?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

When does rug.dot expire and how do renewals work?

A registered rug.dot renews annually, and you keep it as long as you renew before the expiry date. We recommend enabling auto-renew so rug.dot never lapses by accident. You can review the renewal date and billing for rug.dot and see current terms at /pricing.

What should I know about Amazon Registry and .PAY before registering for point-of-sale payments?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A travel booking brand can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.

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.
