Frequently asked questions about connect.dot

Is .PAY already open to everyone for digital wallets?

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.

Why does connect.dot require a TMCH file for early registration?

Early, trademark-priority registration of connect.dot protects rights holders, so the registry requires a TMCH SMD file proving you own a mark matching connect.dot. General availability for connect.dot has no such requirement, only the applicable fee. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for loan repayments?

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.

Should I compare connect.dot with other .PAY names before deciding?

Yes, comparing connect.dot with other .PAY names helps you confirm it is the clearest and most brandable option for connect.dot. domain.pay places related candidates next to each other so differences in length and readability stand out. Compare them at https://domain.pay/domains.

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for BNPL checkout?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: 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.
