Frequently asked questions about aex.dot

Is .PAY meant for BNPL checkout or just for general websites?

.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as BNPL checkout, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Can anyone register aex.dot?

In general .PAY names are open for registration, but priority goes to trademark holders first. If aex.dot is a registered trademark, you can claim aex.dot during the trademark-priority window using your TMCH SMD file. Otherwise you can place a first-day pre-order for aex.dot at /register.

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for point-of-sale payments?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.

What if someone else pre-orders aex.dot before my priority claim?

A standard pre-order does not outrank trademark priority, so if you hold a valid SMD for the aex.dot mark, your priority claim on aex.dot is processed ahead of that pre-order. The pre-order is refundable per policy if it cannot be fulfilled. Validated rights come first for aex.dot. Claim yours at https://domain.pay/register.

When should a payroll platform pre-order a .PAY domain for a payroll platform?

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.

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.
