Frequently asked questions about crates.dot

What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark for online checkout?

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.

Does pre-ordering crates.dot cost anything if it succeeds?

If your pre-order for crates.dot succeeds, you pay the listed registration price, with the standard pre-order at $100; if it fails, the attempt is refundable per policy. You are only charged for a name you actually receive. See pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

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

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.

How do I move crates.dot to a different nameserver or DNS host?

To switch DNS hosts for crates.dot, recreate your existing records at the new provider first, then update the nameservers for crates.dot at the registrar to the new ones. Keeping the zone identical avoids downtime during the cutover. Edit nameservers for crates.dot from /domains.

As a crypto or DeFi product, can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

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.
