Frequently asked questions about topology.dot
Would settle.pay work as a payment brand when choosing settle.pay?
settle.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.
Can topology.dot be transferred to another owner later?
topology.dot can generally be transferred to another owner subject to the .PAY registry's policies and standard transfer rules, and the new owner may face the same payment-related validation expectations. domain.pay can guide a future transfer. To first register topology.dot, start at https://domain.pay/register.
Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline for mobile money?
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.
Why do I need a TMCH SMD file to claim topology.dot?
A TMCH SMD file is the Trademark Clearinghouse's signed proof that you own a mark matching topology.dot, and the registry requires it to grant trademark-priority on topology.dot. Without it, you can still use a standard pre-order for topology.dot. Start either path at https://domain.pay/register.
Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for payroll disbursements?
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.
