Frequently asked questions about chine.dot

Could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app for point-of-sale payments?

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.

How do I check whether chine.dot is still available?

To check whether chine.dot is still available, enter chine.dot in the search on domain.pay, which shows its current registry status, pre-order, or priority eligibility. Availability changes as the .PAY launch progresses. Check the live status of chine.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For BNPL checkout, what are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027?

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.

How can NicNames prove ownership intent over chine.dot early?

Recording the chine.dot mark in the TMCH and obtaining an SMD file documents your rights and lets you claim chine.dot during priority phases. Pre-ordering chine.dot at $100, with refunds on failed attempts, further demonstrates and secures your intent to own it. https://domain.pay/register

What should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY for online checkout?

Trademark owners should act before the July 20, 2026 .PAY priority deadline. domain.pay also notes that TMCH support should begin earlier, by July 10, 2026. Check your label and start here: https://domain.pay/register. Late action may push you into later phases.

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.
