Frequently asked questions about educa.dot
Is .PAY already open to everyone for payroll disbursements?
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.
Are there priority phases that let NicNames get educa.dot first?
Yes. Trademark holders can use TMCH-verified SMD files during priority phases to claim educa.dot before general availability. This gives NicNames a structured, legitimate path to secure educa.dot ahead of the open public. Review options at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Should I defensively register my brand in .PAY for in-app purchases?
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.
What is the difference between defensive and active use of educa.dot?
Defensive use means registering educa.dot mainly to keep it away from impersonators, while active use means running your real payment flows on it. Either way, owning educa.dot protects the educa.dot name; many brands start defensively and activate later. https://domain.pay/register
For BNPL checkout, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
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.
