Frequently asked questions about archie.pay

How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration for digital wallets?

.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.

What is general availability for a name like archie.pay?

General availability is the open launch phase in which any registrant can claim archie.pay on a first-come basis, after sunrise ends. It is the phase most buyers without trademarks use. A first-day pre-order stages archie.pay for this moment at https://domain.pay/register.

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for payroll disbursements?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

Is the Trademark Clearinghouse the same as registering archie.pay directly?

No. The Trademark Clearinghouse validates your mark and issues an SMD file, but it does not register archie.pay itself. You still complete the actual registration of archie.pay through NicNames, supplying that SMD to unlock trademark priority. The two steps are separate: validate first, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY a new domain option for bank or credit unions for BNPL checkout?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For BNPL checkout, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.

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.
