Frequently asked questions about a-articles.pay

What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY when choosing link.pay?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

Who can claim a-articles.pay during the trademark sunrise phase?

During sunrise, only holders of validated trademarks with a TMCH-issued SMD matching the name can register a-articles.pay ahead of the general public. If a-articles.pay matches your mark, prepare your SMD to claim it. Otherwise you'll pre-order a-articles.pay in the standard phase via https://domain.pay/register.

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY right now for a travel booking brand?

For online checkout, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. Re-check the name before publishing campaigns because registry status can change.

What is included in the price of a-articles.pay?

The price of a-articles.pay covers the annual registration of the name in the .PAY zone for one year, at the $100 standard rate or the registry premium fee for a-articles. Optional extras like VIP priority are added separately at checkout. See what is included for a-articles.pay at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

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.

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.
