Frequently asked questions about stearns.dot

How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration for loan repayments?

.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.

Can I cancel my pre-order for stearns.dot before it is processed?

You can manage your pre-order for stearns.dot before the registry processes it, and if an attempt to register stearns.dot ultimately fails, the fee is refundable per the stated policy. For cancellation steps specific to stearns.dot, follow the order management options at https://domain.pay/register.

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for point-of-sale payments?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

Are nonprofits eligible to register stearns.dot?
