Frequently asked questions about nexgate.dot

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?

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.

How do I make sure my SMD matches the exact label in nexgate.dot?

Open your TMCH record to see the validated mark text, then compare it against the nexgate.dot string in nexgate.dot character by character before submitting. NicNames only grants priority when the SMD-encoded mark matches that label for nexgate.dot. A mismatch routes you to standard pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain when choosing merchant.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 two people pre-order nexgate.dot at the same time?

Yes, more than one party can place a pre-order for nexgate.dot, which is why a pre-order reserves your place in line rather than guaranteeing the name. If nexgate.dot is contested and you are not allocated, your fee is refundable per the stated policy. Place your pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I reserve payroll.pay before broader registration opens for a bank or credit union?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

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.
