Frequently asked questions about onion-links.pay
As a brand-protection manager, what does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?
During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.
What is a registrar lock and should onion-links.pay have one?
A registrar (transfer) lock prevents onion-links.pay from being moved without your explicit approval, guarding against hijacking. Keep onion-links.pay locked except during a deliberate transfer. You can toggle the lock for onion-links.pay in your account's domain settings.
Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY for cross-border 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.
How does securing onion-links.pay reassure investors and partners about NicNames?
Owning onion-links.pay shows investors and partners that NicNames actively controls its payment-facing identity and takes impersonation risk seriously. A clearly held onion-links name on a payment-purpose TLD signals operational maturity. Secure it at https://domain.pay/register.
What should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY for digital wallets?
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.
