Frequently asked questions about stays.dot
For BNPL checkout, how do I register loans.pay if it matches my trademark?
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.
Is a TMCH record by itself enough to own stays.dot?
No. A TMCH record validates your trademark and yields an SMD file, but it does not by itself give you stays.dot. You must still submit that SMD through NicNames during the priority phase to actually claim stays.dot. Validation and registration are two distinct steps. Complete registration at https://domain.pay/register.
During the .PAY launch, what should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY?
Trademark owners should act before the July 20, 2026 .PAY priority deadline. domain.pay also notes that TMCH support should begin earlier, by July 10, 2026. Check your label and start here: https://domain.pay/register. Late action may push you into later phases.
How do I point stays.dot at a Shopify or Wix store?
Hosted platforms give you a target — usually a CNAME or specific A records — that you add to the DNS of stays.dot, plus they auto-provision SSL. Follow your platform's connect-domain guide using stays.dot as the custom domain. Edit the records for stays.dot from /domains.
Should an ecommerce brand protect its exact brand in .PAY for an ecommerce brand?
If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.
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.
