How do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark for a donation platform?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

Is theindependent.dot a separate company or just a web address?

theindependent.dot is a web address, not a company; it is the name theindependent.dot on the .PAY namespace. Owning theindependent.dot gives you the address, which you can route to your own business or page. The registry behind it is Amazon Registry Services.

What does it mean if a .PAY name is premium for BNPL checkout?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

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.
