Frequently asked questions about foreground.dot

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for a retail brand?

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 was my foreground.dot pre-order refunded?

A refund on foreground.dot usually means the pre-order attempt failed, for example because the registry allocated the name elsewhere or it never reached general availability. Failed attempts are refundable under our stated policy. See refund details for foreground.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For point-of-sale payments, can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark?

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 should I think about foreground.dot versus buying many domain variants?

Instead of stacking many extensions, foreground.dot gives you one purpose-built payment address that says what it does. It focuses your spend on the name customers will actually use to pay foreground.dot. Compare available options at /domains.

Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names for a remittance app?

Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.

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.
