Frequently asked questions about surface.dot

Can I pay for a .PAY pre-order by card, wire or crypto?

domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.

Are there eligibility requirements to register surface.dot?

Standard pre-order for surface.dot is open broadly, while trademark-priority for surface.dot requires a valid TMCH SMD file proving you own a mark matching surface.dot. The registry, Amazon Registry Services, sets any additional .PAY rules. Confirm requirements for surface.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

As a remittance app, how can a marketplace use a .PAY domain?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

What is the difference between defensive and active use of surface.dot?

Defensive use means registering surface.dot mainly to keep it away from impersonators, while active use means running your real payment flows on it. Either way, owning surface.dot protects the surface.dot name; many brands start defensively and activate later. https://domain.pay/register

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for a bank or credit union?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: 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.
