Frequently asked questions about oct.dot

What should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY for online checkout?

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.

Does the TMCH charge me anything to enable an SMD for oct.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse sets its own fees for recording and validating your mark, independent of NicNames's registration pricing for oct.dot. NicNames's standard pre-order for oct.dot is listed at $100, separate from any TMCH costs. Plan for both when pursuing priority on oct.dot. See registrar pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Where can I generate .PAY ideas for fraud prevention for a regional bank?

For fraud prevention, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

Can I register oct.dot during sunrise without a trademark?

No. Sunrise is exclusively for owners of TMCH-validated trademarks. Without a matching mark, you register oct.dot during general availability instead, and a pre-order queues you for that. Start the GA route at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for online checkout?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

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.
