Frequently asked questions about sera.dot
What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 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.
Why keep a fallback name ready alongside sera.dot?
Keeping a fallback alongside sera.dot protects you if your top pre-order doesn't land, since a refundable $100 attempt means a backup adds little risk. domain.pay makes lining up a sera.dot fallback easy. Set one up at https://domain.pay/register.
For fraud prevention, when is the .PAY Sunrise period?
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.
Is it worth protecting sera.dot if my brand is mostly local?
Yes. Local brands still take payments, and a fraudster impersonating your sera.dot name can defraud your nearby customers just as easily. Because the cost is a $100 refundable pre-order, even a regional NicNames benefits from owning sera.dot. https://domain.pay/register
Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for online checkout?
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.
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.
