Frequently asked questions about somali.dot
Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for digital wallets?
An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.
Can a nonprofit use somali.dot to accept donations?
Yes. A nonprofit can route somali.dot to its donation page so supporters reach a clear, branded place to give. The .PAY suffix reads as a payment or contribution address tied to somali.dot. Nonprofits can pre-order somali.dot at /register.
Is .PAY already open to everyone for crypto payments?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.
Which evidence helps in a dispute to recover somali.dot?
Generally, evidence of your rights in the somali.dot mark, the registrant's lack of legitimate interest, and bad-faith registration or use of somali.dot supports a UDRP-style claim. Trademark registrations, prior use, and proof of impersonation are commonly relevant, though outcomes vary by case. Avoiding the fight by owning somali.dot first is simplest. https://domain.pay/register
How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark for loan repayments?
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.
