Frequently asked questions about shi.dot

For BNPL checkout, could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

How does impersonation on shi.dot differ from email spoofing?

Email spoofing fakes a sender, while controlling shi.dot lets an attacker run a whole fraudulent payment site under the real shi.dot name. The domain-level attack is harder to detect and more convincing, so denying it by owning shi.dot is a high-value protection for NicNames. https://domain.pay/register

As a fintech founder, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?

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.
