Frequently asked questions about gcat.dot

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for crypto payments?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

How does domain.pay's pre-order queue work for gcat.dot?

domain.pay accepts your pre-order for gcat.dot, holds it in queue, and submits it to the registry when gcat.dot's phase opens; if it cannot be fulfilled, it is refundable per policy. The queue rewards early action. Join it at https://domain.pay/register.

For point-of-sale payments, 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.

How do premium labels get chosen for gcat.dot's tier?

Amazon Registry Services selects which labels are premium based on its own criteria, and if gcat.dot is among them, gcat.dot carries the premium tier and price. domain.pay doesn't choose the tier. Confirm whether gcat.dot is premium at https://domain.pay/domains, noting status can change.

How is a .PAY name different from a regular .com for fraud prevention?

A .PAY name immediately signals a payment-related destination, while .com is more general. For fraud prevention, that can make the URL easier to understand. Check availability and pre-order options at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. The usual registry and premium-name rules still apply.

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.
