Frequently asked questions about aq.pay

Should I defensively register my brand in .PAY for tax payments?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

Will aq.pay work for a membership community?

A membership community can collect dues and renewals on aq.pay, giving members one trusted place to pay. The payment-native name fits naturally beside your community login. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

Are IDN .PAY domains allowed for a bank or credit union?

IDN .PAY names may be possible only in supported scripts and must meet registry rules. Use domain.pay to check the exact label and punycode-style status before planning a launch: https://domain.pay/register. Availability, premium and policy restrictions still apply.

Is general availability different from sunrise for aq.pay?

Yes. Sunrise is restricted to verified trademark holders, while general availability opens aq.pay to any registrant on a first-come basis. If you do not hold a matching trademark, general availability is your phase, and a first-day pre-order helps you act immediately. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I register a .PAY domain right now for point-of-sale payments?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

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.
