Frequently asked questions about zako.dot

For digital wallets, can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

How do I set up HTTPS and an SSL certificate on zako.dot?

Point zako.dot at your server via DNS first, then issue a certificate from a CA such as Let's Encrypt or your hosting provider's automated tool. Most platforms validate ownership of zako.dot over HTTP or DNS and renew automatically. Once installed, force all traffic to HTTPS with a redirect.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window when choosing tap.pay?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.

Will my pre-order for zako.dot convert to a registration if no one claims priority?

If no validated SMD holder claims zako.dot during the priority phase, your standard pre-order at $100 is positioned to proceed toward registration under NicNames's process. Should it still fail to complete, the charge is refundable per policy. Trademark priority simply never displaces an unclaimed zako.dot. Place your pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How should I check premium status before choosing a .PAY name for an insurance billing portal?

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.
