Frequently asked questions about stepup.dot

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for digital wallets?

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.

Should I choose VIP handling for stepup.dot?

VIP handling is worth choosing for stepup.dot when timing matters and you want your request prioritized in our queue at the drop. It improves submission speed but cannot guarantee the registry allocates stepup.dot to you. Compare options at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What disputes can affect a .PAY Sunrise name for a crypto or DeFi product?

.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.

Will stepup.dot help a restaurant take orders online?

A restaurant can print stepup.dot on menus and table cards so guests tap straight to an ordering and payment page. The short .PAY name is easier to type than a delivery aggregator URL and keeps the brand front and center. Claim it at https://domain.pay/register.

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for a regional bank?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

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.
