Frequently asked questions about fordmcdonalds.pay

Can a brand-protection manager use .PAY for a branded payment page for crypto payments?

Yes. A brand-protection manager can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Should small businesses bother protecting fordmcdonalds.pay too?

Yes. Impersonators target any recognizable fordmcdonalds, not just large enterprises, and a fake payment page using fordmcdonalds.pay can damage trust regardless of company size. The standard pre-order is $100 and failed attempts are refundable, so protecting fordmcdonalds.pay is accessible to small brands. https://domain.pay/register

When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain for a crypto or DeFi product?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Can I reserve fordmcdonalds.pay before general availability?

You cannot lock fordmcdonalds.pay permanently before its phase, but you can pre-order it now so domain.pay submits your registration the moment general availability begins. This puts you ahead of anyone who waits until launch day to start. Place your pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

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.
