Frequently asked questions about african.dot

Could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app when choosing travel.pay?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

What makes african.dot easier to type than a long checkout link?

african.dot is just the name african.dot plus dot pay, with no folders, IDs, or parameters to mistype. A long checkout link is error-prone when typed from memory or a printed receipt. The brevity of african.dot cuts down on dead ends.

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin when choosing subscriptions.pay?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Does my trademark have to exactly match the label in african.dot?

For trademark priority, the validated mark in your SMD must correspond to the african.dot string in african.dot under TMCH matching rules. Close-but-different strings generally do not qualify for priority on african.dot. If the match is exact, your SMD unlocks the priority claim. Check your eligibility and register at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken for a travel booking brand?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

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.
