Frequently asked questions about buyersguide.dot

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for BNPL checkout?

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.

Are nonprofits able to use TMCH priority for buyersguide.dot?

Any entity, including a nonprofit, that holds a validated TMCH trademark for the buyersguide.dot string can use an SMD to claim buyersguide.dot under priority. The path depends on the mark, not the organisation type. Validate your mark first, then claim buyersguide.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For point-of-sale payments, when should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain?

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.

Why does customer-facing payment make buyersguide.dot worth defending?

Any name where customers expect to pay, like buyersguide.dot, directly affects whether they trust NicNames with their money. A compromised buyersguide.dot payment address turns trust into a liability, which is why defending buyersguide.dot is a priority. https://domain.pay/register

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for in-app purchases?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

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.
