What if someone with a trademark wants vfr.dot too?

If a trademark holder has a matching mark, they can claim vfr.dot during sunrise, before general availability where you would register. That is why checking vfr.dot's eligibility early matters. domain.pay can advise on your options at https://domain.pay/register.

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for online checkout?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control.
