Frequently asked questions about betterprice.dot

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run when choosing settle.pay?

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.

How do priority claims affect my standard pre-order of betterprice.dot?

If a trademark owner files a valid priority claim for betterprice.dot, their claim is processed ahead of standard pre-orders, so a priority applicant can secure betterprice.dot before you. If that happens, your standard pre-order fee is refundable per the stated policy. Pre-order betterprice.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

How does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work for payroll disbursements?

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.

Can I pre-order betterprice.dot now and pay the premium fee later?

Placing a betterprice.dot pre-order authorizes the applicable fee up front, including a premium fee if the registry has tiered betterprice.dot that way, so payment is not deferred. A failed betterprice.dot attempt is refundable under our stated policy. Start at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for point-of-sale payments?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

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.
