Frequently asked questions about app.pay

Can a reserved .PAY name become available later when choosing cloud.pay?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

Should I pay for VIP if app.pay has low competition?

If app.pay appears to have little contention, VIP priority handling is optional and mainly useful when timing is tight at the drop. You can still secure app.pay at the $100 standard or premium app rate without it. Weigh the options at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY for online checkout?

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.

How do I prepare to register app.pay during sunrise?

To register app.pay in sunrise, validate your trademark with the TMCH and obtain your SMD file, then have domain.pay submit the request during the phase. Starting early avoids a last-minute rush. Begin preparation at https://domain.pay/register.

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for fraud prevention?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

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.
