Frequently asked questions about stair.dot
What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for crypto payments?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
Is stair.dot suitable for a fintech brand?
stair.dot is well suited to a fintech brand, since the .PAY namespace is oriented toward payments and financial services. The registry may validate that the intended use fits this focus. domain.pay can help a fintech secure stair.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
As a remittance app, what does it mean if a .PAY name is premium?
A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.
How long does TMCH validation take before I can register stair.dot?
TMCH validation timing depends on the Clearinghouse, not on NicNames, so begin the process well before you intend to claim stair.dot. Only after validation completes do you receive the SMD file needed for priority on stair.dot. Plan ahead so your SMD is ready when the priority phase opens. Prepare your registration at https://domain.pay/register.
What disputes can affect a .PAY Sunrise name for a payroll platform?
.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.
