Frequently asked questions about mainstay.dot

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 when choosing settle.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.

Can I upgrade to VIP handling after pre-ordering mainstay.dot?

You can add VIP priority handling to a pending mainstay.dot pre-order before it is submitted, moving your request higher in our queue. VIP affects ordering speed only and does not change the registry's final decision on mainstay.dot. Add it at https://domain.pay/pricing.

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

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.

Does mainstay.dot have a grace-period or late renewal fee?

If mainstay.dot renews late, registry redemption and restore steps can add fees beyond the $100 standard or premium mainstay.dot rate, so renewing on time is cheapest. We surface the renewal cost for mainstay.dot in advance to avoid this. Check renewal details at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken for digital wallets?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

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.
