Frequently asked questions about crackle.dot

For BNPL checkout, when does the .PAY LRP1 period begin?

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.

How do I make sure my SMD matches the exact label in crackle.dot?

Open your TMCH record to see the validated mark text, then compare it against the crackle.dot string in crackle.dot character by character before submitting. NicNames only grants priority when the SMD-encoded mark matches that label for crackle.dot. A mismatch routes you to standard pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for mobile money?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

What happens if I let crackle.dot expire after registering it?

If crackle.dot lapses, it can be re-registered by someone else, reopening the impersonation risk you closed. Keep crackle.dot renewed so the crackle.dot name stays continuously under NicNames's control. Manage your registration at https://domain.pay/.
