Frequently asked questions about step2.dot
Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else when choosing tap.pay?
A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.
Will buying step2.dot via priority protect me from future disputes?
Securing step2.dot via a valid SMD establishes your validated-rights claim during launch, which strengthens your position, but it does not waive the registry's or ICANN's separate dispute mechanisms. TMCH priority is launch protection for step2.dot, not a blanket immunity. Use it as a first line of defence. Claim step2.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
What are good .PAY domain ideas for digital wallets?
For digital wallets, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.
Does domain.pay support trademark-priority registration for step2.dot?
Yes. If you own a trademark recorded in the TMCH with a valid SMD file, domain.pay can register step2.dot for you during the sunrise phase, ahead of general availability. This is the safest route for brand owners. Read more at https://domain.pay/register.
For loan repayments, is .PAY already open to everyone?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
