Frequently asked questions about switching.dot
Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for a mobile wallet team?
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.
What should I do right now to get switching.dot?
Right now, place a pre-order for switching.dot with domain.pay so your request is staged for its launch phase, whether that is sunrise or general availability. Early action is the single best step for switching.dot. Do it at https://domain.pay/register.
What should I check technically before launching a .PAY payment site?
Before launching a .PAY payment site, verify the label, DNS, SSL, redirects, monitoring, checkout security and compliance obligations. Secure or pre-order the domain through domain.pay first: https://domain.pay/register. Treat the domain as one part of a trusted payment flow.
Are there yearly renewal basics I should know for switching.dot?
