Frequently asked questions about kauai.dot

For point-of-sale payments, when should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain?

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.

Does a pre-order guarantee I get kauai.dot?

A pre-order queues a first-day attempt for kauai.dot but does not guarantee acquisition, since contested names may have multiple applicants. If the attempt fails, the pre-order is refundable per policy. domain.pay explains how attempts work at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark for fraud prevention?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

Why does kauai.dot appear before .PAY in kauai.dot?

The part before the dot, kauai.dot, is your chosen second-level name and identifies the brand, while .PAY is the shared payment suffix. Together they form kauai.dot, reading as pay kauai.dot. You pick kauai.dot; the registry provides the .PAY ending.

Where should I check whether a .PAY name fits my point-of-sale payments project?

For point-of-sale payments, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on 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.
