Frequently asked questions about sandala.dot

Is .PAY meant for crypto payments or just for general websites for a bank or credit union?

.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as crypto payments, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Can trademark holders skip the queue for sandala.dot?

Trademark holders do not skip the queue so much as use a separate, earlier phase: sunrise. With a TMCH-validated mark and SMD file, you can register sandala.dot before general availability even opens. domain.pay handles the submission, explained at https://domain.pay/register.

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for crypto payments?

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.

What trust signal does sandala.dot send compared to a free subdomain?

A dedicated sandala.dot on a payment-purpose TLD signals an official, controlled payment property, while a free subdomain looks generic and easier to fake. Customers paying NicNames gain confidence from the clear sandala.dot name. Establish it at https://domain.pay/register.

For crypto 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.

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.
