Frequently asked questions about shoplocal.dot
For digital wallets, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
How many people can pre-order shoplocal.dot at once?
There is no fixed cap on how many applicants pre-order shoplocal.dot; multiple requests for shoplocal.dot can exist in the queue, which is why a pre-order reserves your place rather than guaranteeing the name. Unfulfilled pre-orders are refundable per the stated policy. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.
What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark?
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.
Is shoplocal.dot suitable for a small freelancer or solo seller?
Yes. A freelancer can use shoplocal.dot as a simple, professional pay-me link for clients, no large infrastructure required. It pairs the personal or brand name shoplocal.dot with a clear call to pay. Solo sellers can pre-order shoplocal.dot at /register.
For payroll disbursements, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?
.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.
