.PAY domain
Checking availability…
Search the exact .PAY label at domain.pay to see current availability and premium status: https://domain.pay/domains. Availability can change quickly during launch phases, so verify before publishing names, ads or product screens.
The listed rate for arca.pay is fixed by the registry tier for arca, so demand alone does not raise the standard $100 or premium price. Contention is resolved by registry allocation, and losing pre-orders on arca.pay are refundable. Review the process at https://domain.pay/pricing.
ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.
Add an X-Robots-Tag or meta noindex to the staging version of arca.pay, or block crawlers in robots.txt, and ideally put it behind HTTP auth. Remove these once arca.pay is ready so search engines can index the live site. Never ship noindex to production by accident on arca.pay.
A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.
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.
