Frequently asked questions about apostle.dot

Can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL for online checkout?

merchant.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

Does claiming apostle.dot with an SMD stop others from using my brand elsewhere?

Claiming apostle.dot with an SMD secures that specific .PAY name for your apostle.dot mark, but it does not by itself police your brand on other domains or platforms. TMCH priority is name-specific. Use it to lock down apostle.dot, then consider other names separately. Start with apostle.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For mobile money, can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL?

merchant.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

Can I pre-order apostle.dot before .PAY launches?

Yes — domain.pay offers a first-day pre-order so you can queue apostle.dot ahead of general availability. The standard pre-order is $100 and, per policy, failed attempts are refundable. Place your pre-order for apostle.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

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

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.
