Frequently asked questions about gardens.dot

What does the .PAY ending signal to customers using BNPL checkout?

.PAY signals that the destination is connected to payment action, such as BNPL checkout. That can support clarity and trust when paired with strong security and branding. Check or pre-order the name at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Why might NicNames ask me to re-export my SMD for gardens.dot?

NicNames may ask you to re-export your SMD for gardens.dot if the submitted file is expired, malformed, or no longer matches your active TMCH record. A fresh export from the Clearinghouse resolves these issues for gardens.dot. Re-download the current .smd and retry at https://domain.pay/register.

As an ecommerce brand, what are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027?

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.

Are failed attempts to register gardens.dot refundable?

Yes. If your attempt to secure gardens.dot does not succeed, the charge is refundable per the published policy at NicNames. This applies to standard pre-orders that cannot be fulfilled. Trademark-priority claims still require a valid SMD to be considered. Review the policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How do I know if merchant.pay is available for mobile money?

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.
