For payroll disbursements, can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day?

Can I register paperclip.dot during both Sunrise and general availability?
If you hold a TMCH SMD file for paperclip.dot, you may attempt paperclip.dot during Sunrise; if you miss it, you can still pre-order paperclip.dot for general availability. Each phase has its own rules set by the registry. Choose the right phase for paperclip.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

How does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work for a regional bank?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
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.
