Frequently asked questions about activ.dot
When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for BNPL checkout?
ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Can domain.pay notify me about activ.dot's launch phases?
Yes. When you place a pre-order for activ.dot, domain.pay tracks the launch phases and submits your request at the right moment, so you do not have to monitor the schedule yourself. Start tracking activ.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
For online checkout, how do I register donate.pay if it matches my trademark?
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.
Should I secure activ.dot before announcing a new payment product?
Yes. Announcing a payment product can alert opportunists to register activ.dot before you do, so securing the activ.dot name first is wise. A $100 refundable pre-order lets NicNames lock activ.dot ahead of any public reveal. https://domain.pay/register
What disputes can affect a .PAY Sunrise name for a crypto or DeFi product?
.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.
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.
