Frequently asked questions about pride.dot
When is the .PAY Sunrise period for a brand-protection manager?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.
Can pride.dot coexist with my social media pay handles?
Yes. pride.dot can sit alongside any social or app-based pay handles and even point to one, giving pride.dot a stable, ownable address you control. Unlike a platform handle, pride.dot is not tied to one app. Secure it at /register.
What happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY for a retail brand?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.
Why did my earlier pride.dot pre-order not convert?
A pre-order for pride.dot may not convert if Amazon Registry Services classified pride.dot as reserved or blocked, or another applicant secured it under launch rules. In those cases the fee is refundable per policy. Re-check pride.dot's status at https://domain.pay/domains.
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for crypto payments?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
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.
