Frequently asked questions about eken.dot

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for point-of-sale payments?

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.

What information is encoded inside the SMD I use for eken.dot?

The SMD you use for eken.dot encodes your validated mark text matching the eken.dot string, associated dates, and a cryptographic signature from the TMCH. NicNames reads this to confirm your priority eligibility for eken.dot. You never edit the file; you simply submit it. Upload it at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for mobile money for mobile money?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

Will I be refunded the VIP fee if eken.dot fails to register?

If your eken.dot pre-order attempt fails, it is refundable under our stated policy, including the associated handling on that failed attempt. VIP improves queue priority but does not change your refund rights when eken.dot cannot be allocated. Review the policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.
