Operating remittance may carry separate licensing under local law. domain.pay can register shovels.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders when choosing donate.pay?

.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.
