Frequently asked questions about xlr8.dot

Where should I check whether a .PAY name fits my BNPL checkout project?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For BNPL checkout, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.

Why does xlr8.dot show available now but not yesterday?

Statuses shift: Amazon Registry Services may have released xlr8.dot from reserved, or a prior registration on xlr8.dot lapsed. That's why availability isn't static. Since registry status can change, re-check xlr8.dot at https://domain.pay/domains before relying on the result.

As a payroll platform, how exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

Does moving to xlr8.dot require resubmitting my whole sitemap?

When you launch on xlr8.dot, generate a fresh sitemap with the new xlr8.dot URLs and submit it in Search Console alongside a change-of-address from the old domain. The old sitemap stays only long enough for redirects to be discovered. Keep xlr8.dot's sitemap current going forward.

What happens to my money if the .PAY registration attempt fails when choosing tap.pay?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

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.
