Frequently asked questions about sherlock.dot

Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for mobile money?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

Are pre-orders for sherlock.dot first-come, first-served?

Pre-orders help establish your position for sherlock.dot, and general availability itself processes on a first-come basis when it opens. Pre-ordering early with domain.pay puts sherlock.dot in the queue ahead of latecomers. Claim your spot 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 name-collision rules that affect SMD claims on sherlock.dot?

The .PAY registry, run by Amazon Registry Services, applies its own policies that can affect how SMD claims and reservations interact for names like sherlock.dot. Your valid SMD makes you eligible for priority on sherlock.dot, while the registry resolves any conflicts. NicNames applies those rules for you. See context at https://domain.pay/.

As a payroll platform, what .PAY name should a payroll platform consider?

settle.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

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.
