Frequently asked questions about statehood.dot
As a brand-protection manager, what does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?
During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.
What makes statehood.dot easier to type than a long checkout link?
statehood.dot is just the name statehood.dot plus dot pay, with no folders, IDs, or parameters to mistype. A long checkout link is error-prone when typed from memory or a printed receipt. The brevity of statehood.dot cuts down on dead ends.
What happens if another trademark holder already registered my .PAY idea?
Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.
How much does it cost to pre-order statehood.dot?
The standard pre-order for statehood.dot is $100, and per our policy a failed pre-order attempt is refundable if statehood.dot can't be secured for you. Premium labels may carry a different registry-set price shown at checkout. Begin your statehood.dot pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.
What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for BNPL checkout 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.
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.
