Frequently asked questions about localshops.dot

When is the .PAY Sunrise period for mobile money?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

Can someone register localshops.dot that matches my trademark and impersonate me?

In theory anyone may attempt to register localshops.dot, which is exactly why trademark holders use TMCH priority and dispute mechanisms. If a registrant uses localshops.dot in bad faith to impersonate NicNames, a UDRP-style complaint may be available. The simplest protection is to register localshops.dot yourself first. https://domain.pay/register

For online checkout, does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Why use domain.pay instead of waiting for localshops.dot?

Waiting to register localshops.dot risks losing it to someone who pre-ordered or to a trademark holder in sunrise. domain.pay queues your localshops.dot request in advance and submits it at the optimal moment, refunding failed attempts per policy. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

As a remittance app, do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names?

Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.

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.
