Frequently asked questions about theca.dot

During the .PAY launch, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

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.

Is theca.dot appropriate for a tip or pay-what-you-want page?

Yes. theca.dot is a clear, friendly address for tips, gratuities, or pay-what-you-want pages where you want people to send money easily. The .PAY suffix tells supporters of theca.dot exactly what to do. You can set this up after registering at /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.

Can theca.dot be used for a crypto payment service?

theca.dot may be used for a crypto or digital-payment service if that use fits the .PAY registry's payment-related framing and your local regulations permit it. Crypto activities often carry separate legal obligations independent of the domain. domain.pay can review your case at https://domain.pay/register.

What happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY for digital wallets?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: 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.
