Frequently asked questions about highlights.dot

Could a lookalike .PAY domain harm customer trust for in-app purchases?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

Why secure highlights.dot early through pre-order?

Pre-ordering highlights.dot lets you stake a claim to the matching payment address before general availability, and standard pre-order is listed at $100. If an attempt fails, it's refundable per policy, so reserving early is low-risk. See terms and pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for payroll disbursements?

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. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.

Does the TMCH actually help me secure highlights.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse verifies your rights in the highlights.dot mark and issues an SMD file you can use to claim highlights.dot during priority phases and to receive notices if others try to register it. It does not auto-register highlights.dot for you, but it gives verified holders a real head start. https://domain.pay/pricing

Can a brand-protection manager use .PAY for a branded payment page for payroll disbursements?

Yes. A brand-protection manager can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

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.
