Frequently asked questions about semper.dot

Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period for an ecommerce brand?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

What happens to customer trust if a scammer controls semper.dot instead of me?

If a scammer holds semper.dot, customers who assume the semper.dot payment name is official may enter card details on a fraudulent page, eroding trust in NicNames. Because .PAY implies a legitimate payment purpose, the deception is more credible. Owning semper.dot keeps that trust where it belongs. https://domain.pay/register

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for mobile money?

.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.

Will I get refunded if my pre-order for semper.dot fails?

Yes. If your pre-order for semper.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 semper.dot and a backup in parallel. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

What happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY for point-of-sale payments?

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.

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.
