Frequently asked questions about ariel.pay

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments when choosing bank.pay?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Is ariel.pay guaranteed if I'm the only pre-order?

Being the sole pre-order improves your odds for ariel.pay, but the registry's launch rules and ariel's classification by Amazon Registry Services still govern allocation, so it's not guaranteed. A failed attempt is refundable per policy. Pre-order ariel.pay at https://domain.pay/register.

For payroll disbursements, how can a marketplace use a .PAY domain?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

Can I switch from a pre-order to a trademark-priority claim for ariel.pay?

If you obtain a valid SMD for the ariel mark, you can pursue the trademark-priority path for ariel.pay rather than relying on a standard pre-order. The priority route requires that SMD at claim time. Any unfulfilled pre-order on ariel.pay is refundable per policy. Choose the priority path at https://domain.pay/register.

For crypto payments, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?

.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.

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.
