Frequently asked questions about star.dot

What is a .PAY domain and why does it matter for payroll disbursements?

For payroll disbursements, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Should I secure star.dot in addition to my main website domain?

Yes. Your main site protects your general brand, but star.dot specifically protects the payment-trust layer that .PAY implies for NicNames. Holding both ensures the star.dot name cannot be impersonated where money changes hands. https://domain.pay/register

How do I register donate.pay if it matches my trademark for point-of-sale payments?

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.

Where can I see all .PAY names I might claim with my SMD, including star.dot?

You can browse and look up .PAY names, including star.dot, through NicNames's domain search to see which match your validated mark for a priority claim. Each eligible name needs its label to match your SMD-encoded mark. Explore the catalogue and check star.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for point-of-sale payments?

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.

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.
