Frequently asked questions about preparation.dot

Is there VIP help for a large .PAY pre-order portfolio for online checkout?

domain.pay says customers with pre-orders over $8,888 may qualify for VIP handling, dedicated support and more tailored failed-registration solutions. Review the current VIP language on the pricing page: https://domain.pay/pricing. Large portfolios should still expect availability and premium checks.

Will I be refunded the VIP fee if preparation.dot fails to register?

If your preparation.dot pre-order attempt fails, it is refundable under our stated policy, including the associated handling on that failed attempt. VIP improves queue priority but does not change your refund rights when preparation.dot cannot be allocated. Review the policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.

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.

Can I get a refund if my preparation.dot pre-order fails?

Yes. Failed pre-order attempts for preparation.dot are refundable under our stated refund policy, so if the pre-order cannot be fulfilled you are not left out of pocket. Review the full terms and start a pre-order for preparation.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain?

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.

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.
