Frequently asked questions about filtering.dot

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for an ecommerce brand?

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.

When does the priority window for filtering.dot close?

The priority window for filtering.dot closes when the registry advances the name out of the trademark phase, after which SMD claims are no longer accepted and pre-orders take over. The exact timing follows the registry's schedule for .PAY. Check the live phase for filtering.dot before relying on priority. See status at https://domain.pay/domains.

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for online checkout?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

How do I submit my SMD file when registering filtering.dot?

During the trademark-priority flow for filtering.dot, NicNames presents an upload field where you attach the .smd file exported from the Trademark Clearinghouse. The system parses the encoded mark and confirms the filtering.dot label matches your validated trademark. Once accepted, your priority claim on filtering.dot is queued. Upload it at https://domain.pay/register.

For loan repayments, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

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.
