Frequently asked questions about rap.dot
As a bank or credit union, when does the .PAY LRP1 period begin?
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.
Why pre-order rap.dot before the sunrise window?
Pre-ordering rap.dot before the sunrise window opens means domain.pay has everything staged to submit the instant trademark-priority registration begins, leaving no gap. For brand owners this protects rap.dot early. Prepare at https://domain.pay/register.
How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain?
A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.
Will I get refunded if my pre-order for rap.dot fails?
Yes. If your pre-order for rap.dot does not succeed, the standard $100 pre-order attempt is refundable, so a failed attempt does not cost you. That makes it safe to pre-order rap.dot and a backup in parallel. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.
Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for crypto payments?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
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.
