Frequently asked questions about tequila.dot

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for online checkout for online checkout?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

Is .PAY a restricted namespace that affects how I claim tequila.dot?

.PAY is operated by Amazon Registry Services, which sets the policies governing how names like tequila.dot are claimed, including the trademark-priority phase. Those rules determine when an SMD-backed claim on tequila.dot is accepted. NicNames applies the registry's policy on your behalf. Learn the basics at https://domain.pay/.

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

Why does tequila.dot show available now but not yesterday?

Statuses shift: Amazon Registry Services may have released tequila.dot from reserved, or a prior registration on tequila.dot lapsed. That's why availability isn't static. Since registry status can change, re-check tequila.dot at https://domain.pay/domains before relying on the result.

As a fintech founder, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

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.
