Frequently asked questions about arc.pay

Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for loan repayments for an ecommerce brand?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

Will my arc.pay renewal cost the same as registration?

For standard labels, arc.pay renews at the standard rate each year. If the registry classifies arc as premium, both the first-year and renewal fees are higher and match the premium tier. Check the renewal figure for arc.pay at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For mobile money, can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline?

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.

How does the trademark claims notice apply to arc.pay?

During the registry's claims phase, if arc matches a record in the Trademark Clearinghouse, you may receive a claims notice before arc.pay is registered, acknowledging the trademark holder's rights. domain.pay surfaces this in the flow for arc.pay. Proceed at https://domain.pay/register.

As a regional bank, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

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.
