Frequently asked questions about gce.dot
For point-of-sale payments, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
Can I see all .PAY names priced like gce.dot?
You can browse other .PAY names alongside gce.dot to compare which sit at the $100 standard rate and which the registry has flagged as premium. This helps you weigh gce.dot against similar labels. Explore the catalog at https://domain.pay/domains.
Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for online checkout?
A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.
Which comes first for gce.dot: validating my mark or paying NicNames?
Validating your mark in the TMCH and obtaining the SMD comes first, because without it NicNames cannot grant trademark priority on gce.dot. Only after you have a valid SMD do you complete the priority registration of gce.dot. The standard pre-order alternative is listed at $100. Start the right path at https://domain.pay/pricing.
For digital wallets, what .PAY domain style is best for trust and conversion?
Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.
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.
