Frequently asked questions about formats.dot

Can Amazon Registry reserve or block some .PAY names for online checkout?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

Does the sunrise phase cost more for formats.dot?

Sunrise pricing for formats.dot is set by the registry and registrar and reflects its trademark-priority nature. domain.pay lists current pre-order pricing, with the standard pre-order at $100 and failed attempts refundable per policy. Check rates at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for point-of-sale payments?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

When does the priority window for formats.dot close?

The priority window for formats.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 formats.dot before relying on priority. See status at https://domain.pay/domains.

As a regional bank, how does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work?

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.

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.
