Frequently asked questions about cande.dot

Can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL for a mobile wallet team?

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.

Can I park cande.dot with a coming-soon page before launch?

Yes. Point cande.dot at a simple host serving a coming-soon page with valid HTTPS, and add a noindex tag if you don't want it indexed yet. This reserves the brand presence of cande.dot while you build. Swap in the full site on cande.dot when ready.

For loan repayments, is .PAY already open to everyone?

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.

Will I get refunded if my pre-order for cande.dot fails?

Yes. If your pre-order for cande.dot does not succeed, the standard $100 pre-order attempt is refundable, so a failed attempt does not cost you. That makes it safe to pre-order cande.dot and a backup in parallel. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

When is the .PAY Sunrise period for a fintech founder?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: 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.
