Frequently asked questions about apd.pay

How do I register a .PAY domain as a startup when choosing payroll.pay?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

Will a contested apd.pay affect my pre-order timing?

If apd.pay is contested by multiple applicants at general availability, your first-day pre-order still queues an attempt the moment it opens, and a failed attempt is refundable per policy. Early queuing improves your odds against later applicants. domain.pay manages the timing; see https://domain.pay/pricing.

When is broader .PAY public registration expected for a payroll platform?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

How do I transfer apd.pay to another registrar later?

To transfer apd.pay out, unlock it, obtain the authorization (EPP) code, and submit a transfer request at the gaining registrar. apd.pay must usually be at least 60 days old and not recently transferred. The new registrar walks you through approving the move of apd.pay.

Is .PAY already open to everyone for BNPL checkout?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
