Frequently asked questions about nio.dot

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain when choosing donate.pay?

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.

Can I cancel my nio.dot pre-order and get my money back?

You can cancel a pending nio.dot pre-order before it is submitted, and if the attempt later fails it is refundable under our stated policy. Once nio.dot is successfully registered, it is generally non-refundable. See cancellation terms at https://domain.pay/pricing.

As a checkout product manager, what are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027?

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.

What does a first-day pre-order for nio.dot actually do?

A first-day pre-order queues your request so domain.pay attempts to register nio.dot the instant general availability opens. It improves your timing versus registering manually after launch. The standard pre-order is $100, refundable if the attempt fails, per /pricing.

For fraud prevention, can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
