Frequently asked questions about cri.dot

Should I defensively register my brand in .PAY for invoice collection?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

Is checking the status of cri.dot free?

Yes — looking up cri.dot at https://domain.pay/domains costs nothing and returns its current registry status instantly. You only pay if you choose to pre-order or register. Since results reflect live data that can change, re-check cri.dot before you commit.

How much is the .PAY trademark fast-track if I need TMCH help for crypto payments?

domain.pay lists the full trademark fast-track at $2,500 when you need end-to-end TMCH/SMD assistance, plus any premium registry retail fee. Confirm the details here: https://domain.pay/pricing. If you already have an SMD file, a lower submission-only path may apply.

Will I get refunded if my pre-order for cri.dot fails?

Yes. If your pre-order for cri.dot does not succeed, the standard $100 pre-order attempt is refundable, so a failed attempt does not cost you. That makes it safe to pre-order cri.dot and a backup in parallel. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

As a payroll platform, when should a payroll platform pre-order a .PAY domain?

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.

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.
