Frequently asked questions about backers.dot

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

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. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.

How much does it cost to pre-order an alternative to backers.dot?

Pre-ordering an alternative to backers.dot costs the standard $100 per name on domain.pay, and a failed attempt is refundable. That flat pricing makes it easy to pursue several backers.dot candidates at once. See pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for point-of-sale payments for a checkout product manager?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

What happens to my fee if backers.dot is allocated to a priority claimant?

If a trademark priority claimant is allocated backers.dot, your standard pre-order for backers.dot cannot be fulfilled and the fee is refundable per the stated policy. Priority claims are processed ahead of standard pre-orders by registry rules. Pre-order backers.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For digital wallets, can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL?

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.

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.
