Frequently asked questions about candids.dot

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration when choosing link.pay?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

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

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

Is .PAY already open to everyone for point-of-sale payments?

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.

Where do I start a priority pre-order for candids.dot?

You can start a priority pre-order for candids.dot from its registration page, where you add VIP handling and, if eligible, supply a TMCH SMD file for the trademark phase. The applicable $100 standard or premium candids.dot fee is shown before you confirm candids.dot. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

When is broader .PAY public registration expected for loan repayments?

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.

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.
