Frequently asked questions about counterpart.dot

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.

How is counterpart.dot protected against cybersquatting through TMCH?

TMCH protects counterpart.dot by letting the validated owner of the counterpart.dot mark claim it first via an SMD, before squatters can reach it in general availability. Trademark priority is the front-line defence for counterpart.dot. Pairing it with a timely registration reduces conflict risk. Secure your priority claim at https://domain.pay/register.

For mobile money, when does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Is counterpart.dot relevant for protecting against gift-card or top-up scams?

Yes. Gift-card and top-up scams often hinge on a believable payment page, so denying fraudsters the real counterpart.dot address by owning counterpart.dot undercuts a common tactic. It is one safeguard among several, not a cure-all. https://domain.pay/register

As a checkout product manager, do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names?

Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.

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.
