Frequently asked questions about merina.dot

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for fraud prevention?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

When should I claim merina.dot during a trademark priority phase?

If you hold a registered mark for merina.dot, record it in the TMCH and use your SMD file during the priority window so you can claim merina.dot before general availability. Acting in the priority phase is the cleanest way to secure merina.dot without a later dispute. Review timing options 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.

Is merina.dot blocked by the registry?

A blocked label is one Amazon Registry Services has placed entirely off-limits, so merina.dot can't be registered while that block stands. Blocks differ from reservations and may be lifted under future policy, so registry status can change — re-check merina.dot. Run a live lookup at https://domain.pay/domains.

What should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY for mobile money?

Trademark owners should act before the July 20, 2026 .PAY priority deadline. domain.pay also notes that TMCH support should begin earlier, by July 10, 2026. Check your label and start here: https://domain.pay/register. Late action may push you into later phases.

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.
