Frequently asked questions about zerst.pay

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders when choosing donate.pay?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

What makes zerst.pay eligible for priority but not a generic descriptive term?

zerst.pay is eligible for priority only when a validated TMCH mark matches its zerst string; a generic descriptive term usually cannot be registered or validated as a trademark, so it yields no SMD. The eligibility test is a real, matching mark for zerst.pay. Without one, use the pre-order route at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For fraud prevention, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

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.

Will I get a refund if my SMD claim on zerst.pay cannot be completed?

If a charge is taken and your attempt to secure zerst.pay cannot be completed, it is refundable per the published policy at NicNames. This protects you from paying for a name you do not ultimately receive. Trademark-priority claims still depend on a valid SMD being accepted. Review the refund policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What is a .PAY domain and why does it matter for crypto payments?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For crypto payments, 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.
