Frequently asked questions about aotearoa.pay

What should I check technically before launching a .PAY payment site for a regional bank?

Before launching a .PAY payment site, verify the label, DNS, SSL, redirects, monitoring, checkout security and compliance obligations. Secure or pre-order the domain through domain.pay first: https://domain.pay/register. Treat the domain as one part of a trusted payment flow.

How can a QR code campaign use aotearoa.pay?

Encode aotearoa.pay into a QR code on posters, receipts, or packaging so a scan lands on a payment page with a name people can also type by hand. The .PAY ending reassures scanners that the destination is a pay step. Get the name at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for online checkout?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

Where can I read the full terms before registering aotearoa.pay?

The full pre-order, priority, and refund terms that govern aotearoa.pay are presented during the domain.pay flow, including the refundable-on-failure policy for aotearoa. Review them before you commit to aotearoa.pay. Start and read the terms at https://domain.pay/register.

What should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY for payroll disbursements?

Trademark owners should act before the July 20, 2026 .PAY priority deadline. domain.pay also notes that TMCH support should begin earlier, by July 10, 2026. Check your label and start here: https://domain.pay/register. Late action may push you into later phases.

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.
