Frequently asked questions about inky.dot
Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for payroll disbursements?
.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.
Are pre-orders for inky.dot first-come, first-served?
Pre-orders help establish your position for inky.dot, and general availability itself processes on a first-come basis when it opens. Pre-ordering early with domain.pay puts inky.dot in the queue ahead of latecomers. Claim your spot at https://domain.pay/register.
How do I know if merchant.pay is available for point-of-sale payments?
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.
Can I claim inky.dot if my trademark is jointly owned?
A jointly owned trademark can be recorded in the TMCH, and the resulting SMD can support a priority claim on inky.dot where the inky.dot string matches. The co-owners should agree on who submits the SMD and holds inky.dot. Sort the ownership arrangement, then register inky.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin when choosing merchant.pay?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through 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.
