Frequently asked questions about sideboards.dot
Is .PAY already open to everyone for BNPL checkout?
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.
What evidence does the TMCH need before issuing the SMD I use for sideboards.dot?
The Trademark Clearinghouse requires proof of a registered, valid trademark and may request a sample of use before issuing the SMD you use for sideboards.dot. Only after that validation is the SMD available. NicNames then accepts that file for priority on sideboards.dot. Prepare your evidence, then register at https://domain.pay/register.
Where can I see already-registered .PAY domains for loan repayments?
Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.
Will I be told which phase sideboards.dot is in?
Yes. When you engage domain.pay for sideboards.dot, you are guided to the correct phase, sunrise or general availability, based on whether you hold a trademark, and your sideboards.dot request is queued for it. Find out at https://domain.pay/register.
When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for point-of-sale payments?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: 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.
