Frequently asked questions about shona.dot

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for online checkout?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

How much does it cost to secure shona.dot?

A standard pre-order to secure shona.dot is listed at $100 through domain.pay, with renewal and any premium pricing shown separately. Figures can change, so confirm the live price before ordering. See current costs at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Are short .PAY names always available for mobile money?

Short .PAY names are attractive but can be registered, premium, reserved or blocked. Do not assume availability from length alone. Search at domain.pay and verify before building a campaign: https://domain.pay/domains.

Should a publisher use shona.dot for paywall checkout?

A publisher can route paywall subscriptions through shona.dot, giving readers a trusted, payment-native checkout. The clear .PAY address can ease the move from free reader to paying subscriber. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark?

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.

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.
