Frequently asked questions about shochu.dot

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for BNPL checkout?

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 browsing the catalog reveal options I'd miss searching only shochu.dot?

Yes. Browsing domain.pay's curated catalog reveals options you would miss by searching only shochu.dot, since it surfaces themed and adjacent payment names beyond shochu.dot. Open-ended browsing complements targeted search. Browse the catalog at https://domain.pay/domains.

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for fraud prevention?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

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

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

How do I know if merchant.pay is available for point-of-sale payments?

Search the exact .PAY label at domain.pay to see current availability and premium status: https://domain.pay/domains. Availability can change quickly during launch phases, so verify before publishing names, ads or product screens.

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.
