Frequently asked questions about vains.dot

For digital wallets, how do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark?

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 is the simplest way to explain vains.dot to a non-technical person?

Tell them vains.dot is a web address that ends in the word pay, so it is the place to go to pay vains.dot. It works like any website link but its name advertises its purpose. They can reach it just by typing vains.dot into a browser.

What happens if another trademark holder already registered my .PAY idea for point-of-sale payments?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

What SPF and DKIM records should I add for vains.dot?

Add a single SPF TXT record authorizing your sending servers and a DKIM TXT record with the public key your provider gives you for vains.dot. Together with a DMARC policy, these reduce the chance that mail from vains.dot lands in spam. Each provider supplies the exact values to paste into DNS.

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for fraud prevention?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

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.
