Frequently asked questions about separate.dot
As a remittance app, 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.
Does holding separate.dot guarantee regulatory approval?
No, holding separate.dot does not grant or guarantee any regulatory or licensing approval for payment services; those come from your jurisdiction's authorities. The .PAY registry validates domain use, not your regulatory standing. domain.pay handles only the registration side at https://domain.pay/register.
Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for payroll disbursements?
.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.
Why does separate.dot have special eligibility requirements?
Because .PAY is positioned for payment and financial services, the registry behind separate.dot may set eligibility and validation expectations that ordinary TLDs do not. This helps keep the namespace aligned with trusted financial use. domain.pay can walk you through what typically applies at https://domain.pay/register.
What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY when choosing subscriptions.pay?
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.
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.
