Frequently asked questions about makeshift.dot

For crypto payments, what is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY?

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.

What customer message should accompany ownership of makeshift.dot?

Tell customers that makeshift.dot is the only official makeshift.dot payment address and that NicNames will never collect payments from other domains. Pairing clear messaging with real ownership of makeshift.dot makes impersonation easier to detect. https://domain.pay/register

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for digital wallets?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

What is the safest way to reserve makeshift.dot before competitors act?

The safest way to reserve makeshift.dot before competitors is to place a pre-order now so makeshift.dot is queued with the registry ahead of general availability, with the fee refundable if it fails per the stated policy. Brand owners can add trademark priority. Reserve makeshift.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

What is a .PAY domain and why does it matter for crypto payments for a brand-protection manager?

For crypto 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.
