Frequently asked questions about ray.dot

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for crypto payments?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

What happens to my ray.dot pre-order if a trademark holder claims it?

If a validated TMCH holder claims ray.dot during the priority phase with a valid SMD, their claim takes precedence and your standard pre-order cannot be fulfilled. In that case your pre-order charge for ray.dot is refundable per the published policy. You are not charged for a name you cannot receive. Read the policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.

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

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.

Does ray.dot support sunrise-style trademark claims through NicNames?

Yes. NicNames offers trademark-priority registration for ray.dot, the .PAY equivalent of a sunrise claim, requiring a valid TMCH SMD file. This lets the verified owner of the ray.dot mark secure ray.dot before general availability. Learn how it works at https://domain.pay/.

What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY for fraud prevention?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

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.
