Frequently asked questions about zef.dot

How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration for crypto payments?

.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.

Can I use trademark priority and a standard pre-order together for zef.dot?

They're separate paths: a trademark-priority claim on zef.dot uses your TMCH SMD during the registry's priority window, while a $100 standard pre-order queues zef.dot for general availability. Pick the one that fits zef.dot's situation. Compare both for zef.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For BNPL checkout, who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

Will owning zef.dot help if scammers use my logo on a fake site?

Owning zef.dot denies scammers the genuine zef.dot address, so even if they copy NicNames's logo elsewhere, they cannot anchor the scam to your real payment name. This makes their fake easier for customers to question. Secure zef.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For digital wallets, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

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.
