Frequently asked questions about kat.dot

During the .PAY launch, how exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

Can I pre-order kat.dot if my trademark application is still pending?

Trademark-priority for kat.dot requires a TMCH SMD file, which the Trademark Clearinghouse issues only for validated marks, so a pending application alone may not qualify for kat.dot. You can still place a standard pre-order for kat.dot meanwhile. Choose a path at https://domain.pay/register.

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 when choosing trust.pay?

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 does first-day pre-order differ from trademark priority for kat.dot?

Trademark priority lets a validated TMCH mark holder claim kat.dot first using an SMD file, before anyone else. First-day pre-order is the next opportunity, open to those without a trademark, listed at $100 for kat.dot. Priority always ranks ahead of pre-order. Compare both paths at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What should I check technically before launching a .PAY payment site for BNPL checkout?

Before launching a .PAY payment site, verify the label, DNS, SSL, redirects, monitoring, checkout security and compliance obligations. Secure or pre-order the domain through domain.pay first: https://domain.pay/register. Treat the domain as one part of a trusted payment flow.

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.
