No action taken. Your email is verified for next time, so if you change your mind about your domain you can pick up where you left off in a single click.
Payment
Complete your priority .PAY request with a secure card payment, or request an invoice to pay by wire transfer or crypto.
Before you pay — please read
- If the registration is unsuccessful for any reason (registered in an earlier phase, another registrar was faster, registry refused, name became reserved/blocked) we automatically credit 100% to your domain.pay balance — apply it to another .PAY domain or any name on NicNames.com. Prefer cash? Request an 80% refund to your original payment method instead. The 20% difference covers our processing, TMCH/SMD work, and submission attempts.
- No concurrent applications. Once your payment successfully completes, your application enters Pending status and the public search marks the name as Reserved. We don't accept other paid applications for the same name once payment is in. Unpaid invoice requests don't reserve a name.
- Final registration is subject to registry rules, trademark validation (priority flows), domain availability, premium/reserved/blocked status, and registrar/registry approval.
