Frequently asked questions about strongholds.dot

Can a donation platform use .PAY for a branded payment page for a donation platform?

Yes. A donation platform can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

What is the difference between pre-order and registration for strongholds.dot?

A pre-order stages your intent to register strongholds.dot and is submitted when its phase opens; the registration is the completed assignment of strongholds.dot to you once the registry approves. domain.pay turns your strongholds.dot pre-order into a registration at the right time. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY for point-of-sale payments?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

Why might sunrise end before I register strongholds.dot?

Sunrise for strongholds.dot runs only for the registry's fixed window; if you wait too long, it closes and strongholds.dot moves to general availability where trademark priority no longer applies. domain.pay submits strongholds.dot within the sunrise window for you. Act at https://domain.pay/register.

As an ecommerce brand, who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

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.
