Frequently asked questions about picks.dot
For point-of-sale payments, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
What is the difference between a registrar and the registry for picks.dot?
The registry, Amazon Registry Services, runs .PAY and sets picks.dot's premium, reserved, or blocked status; domain.pay is the registrar where you actually look up and register picks.dot. You interact with us, but the registry sets the rules. Check picks.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.
For point-of-sale payments, is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal?
Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.
What is HSTS and should I enable it on picks.dot?
HTTP Strict Transport Security tells browsers to always load picks.dot over HTTPS, blocking downgrade attacks. Enable it with a response header once picks.dot reliably serves valid SSL, and only after confirming every subresource is HTTPS. Start with a short max-age before committing picks.dot to a long policy.
When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for a bank or credit union?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: 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.
