Frequently asked questions about soa.dot

What are good .PAY domain ideas for fraud prevention?

For fraud prevention, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

Can domain.pay notify me about soa.dot's launch phases?

Yes. When you place a pre-order for soa.dot, domain.pay tracks the launch phases and submits your request at the right moment, so you do not have to monitor the schedule yourself. Start tracking soa.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For fraud prevention, 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.

Which comes first for soa.dot: validating my mark or paying NicNames?

Validating your mark in the TMCH and obtaining the SMD comes first, because without it NicNames cannot grant trademark priority on soa.dot. Only after you have a valid SMD do you complete the priority registration of soa.dot. The standard pre-order alternative is listed at $100. Start the right path at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for a remittance app?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming 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.
