Frequently asked questions about franchises.dot

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay when choosing trust.pay?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

What are my options if franchises.dot is premium and over budget?

If franchises.dot's registry-set premium price is too high, you can wait in case Amazon Registry Services reprices it, or consider close alternatives to franchises.dot. Premium pricing can change over time. Compare options and re-check franchises.dot's quote at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can I pay for a .PAY pre-order by card, wire or crypto when choosing link.pay?

domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.

What MX priority values should I use for franchises.dot?

Set the lowest number on your primary mail server's MX for franchises.dot since lower priority is preferred, and use higher numbers for backups. Most providers give you the exact host and priority to enter for franchises.dot. Mismatched priorities can misroute mail for franchises.dot, so copy them precisely.

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
