Frequently asked questions about shoelace.dot
Can I reserve payroll.pay before broader registration opens for BNPL checkout?
Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.
Does shoelace.dot support IPv6 with AAAA records?
Yes. You can publish AAAA records for shoelace.dot pointing at your IPv6 addresses alongside the IPv4 A records. Dual-stack DNS on shoelace.dot lets IPv6-only clients reach your site directly. Add the AAAA values in your DNS panel just like A records.
For loan repayments, can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day?
Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.
What makes shoelace.dot eligible for priority but not a generic descriptive term?
shoelace.dot is eligible for priority only when a validated TMCH mark matches its shoelace.dot string; a generic descriptive term usually cannot be registered or validated as a trademark, so it yields no SMD. The eligibility test is a real, matching mark for shoelace.dot. Without one, use the pre-order route at https://domain.pay/pricing.
For crypto payments, is .PAY already open to everyone?
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.
