Frequently asked questions about shai.dot

What should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY for point-of-sale payments?

Trademark owners should act before the July 20, 2026 .PAY priority deadline. domain.pay also notes that TMCH support should begin earlier, by July 10, 2026. Check your label and start here: https://domain.pay/register. Late action may push you into later phases.

What should I do if shai.dot shows as reserved?

If shai.dot shows reserved, you can't register it now, but you can monitor it in case Amazon Registry Services releases shai.dot later. Consider close alternatives in the meantime. Registry status can change — re-check shai.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.

As a retail brand, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

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

A dedicated shai.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 shai.dot name. Establish it at https://domain.pay/register.

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for a donation platform?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

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.
