Frequently asked questions about software.dot

How do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark for fraud prevention?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

How do I prioritize which brand names to secure on .PAY, including software.dot?

Start with your primary software.dot name, then add closely associated marks and high-traffic product names. Securing software.dot first protects the address customers are most likely to type when paying NicNames. Compare options at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day for BNPL checkout?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

Are there any extra fees beyond the price shown for software.dot?

The price shown for software.dot is the registration fee; optional add-ons like VIP priority handling are separate and clearly listed before checkout. Standard labels are $100 and premium software.dot names cost more per the registry. See the full breakdown for software.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL for fraud prevention?

subscriptions.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.
