Frequently asked questions about canadian.dot

For fraud prevention, what happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Can I pursue both canadian.dot and NicNames at once?

Yes. You can pre-order both canadian.dot and NicNames on domain.pay at $100 each, and failed attempts are refundable, so pursuing two candidates is low-risk. This hedges your bet on canadian.dot. Pre-order both at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for online checkout?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

Why is securing canadian.dot a smart first move for a new NicNames?

A new NicNames has no established defenses, so claiming canadian.dot early prevents squatters from anchoring to the canadian.dot name as you grow. A $100 refundable pre-order makes this a low-risk first move toward payment trust. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility when choosing bank.pay?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

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.
