Frequently asked questions about ipko.dot

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for a payroll platform?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

Is sunrise mandatory to get ipko.dot?

Sunrise is not mandatory for everyone; it is only the path for trademark holders to claim ipko.dot early. If you have no trademark, you simply use general availability instead. domain.pay routes your ipko.dot request to the correct phase at https://domain.pay/register.

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for mobile money?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

Is the $100 price for ipko.dot a one-time or yearly fee?

The $100 standard rate for ipko.dot is an annual registration fee that recurs each year on renewal for standard labels. Premium ipko.dot names renew at their higher premium fee instead. Check the recurring cost for ipko.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for mobile money?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

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.
