Frequently asked questions about mercon.dot

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

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 mercon.dot cost more during the priority phase?

Trademark-priority registration for mercon.dot may carry different fees than the standard $100 pre-order because priority phases have their own pricing set around the registry's rules. The exact figure for mercon.dot appears in the checkout flow. See current pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

When is the .PAY Sunrise period for loan repayments?

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.

Does holding mercon.dot help with chargeback and fraud reduction?

By keeping payments on the genuine mercon.dot address, owning mercon.dot reduces the chance customers are tricked into paying a fraudulent site, which can lower fraud-related disputes tied to NicNames. It is one control among several, not a complete fraud solution. https://domain.pay/

How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration when choosing bank.pay?

.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.

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.
