Frequently asked questions about featured.dot

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for digital wallets?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

Is a TMCH record by itself enough to own featured.dot?

No. A TMCH record validates your trademark and yields an SMD file, but it does not by itself give you featured.dot. You must still submit that SMD through NicNames during the priority phase to actually claim featured.dot. Validation and registration are two distinct steps. Complete registration at https://domain.pay/register.

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for a regional bank?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

Why is featured.dot a cleaner option than a long subdomain?

A subdomain like pay.featured.dot.com adds a layer and still depends on your .com, while featured.dot is a standalone, purpose-built address. featured.dot reads as a payment destination without nesting. That makes it simpler to share and brand.

How do I know if merchant.pay is available for online checkout?

Search the exact .PAY label at domain.pay to see current availability and premium status: https://domain.pay/domains. Availability can change quickly during launch phases, so verify before publishing names, ads or product screens.

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.
