Frequently asked questions about cater.dot

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for online checkout?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

How does ICANN's process shape the launch of cater.dot?

ICANN's new-gTLD framework requires phased launches, which is why cater.dot moves through sunrise then general availability. This standardized process protects trademarks first and opens names like cater.dot to the public after. domain.pay positions you for it at https://domain.pay/register.

As a checkout product manager, 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.

Is sunrise mandatory to get cater.dot?

Sunrise is not mandatory for everyone; it is only the path for trademark holders to claim cater.dot early. If you have no trademark, you simply use general availability instead. domain.pay routes your cater.dot request to the correct phase at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission when choosing wallet.pay?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

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.
