Frequently asked questions about sifting.dot
Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 when choosing bank.pay?
An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.
Will sifting.dot help a SaaS trial-to-paid conversion?
Sending trial users to sifting.dot to add a card keeps the upgrade on a recognizable payment address. That trust signal at the conversion moment can smooth the trial-to-paid step. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
How do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order for BNPL checkout?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
Is identity verification part of getting sifting.dot?
Identity or registrant verification can be part of acquiring sifting.dot where the .PAY registry's validation calls for it. Requirements may vary by intended use and over time. domain.pay relays any verification steps so you can respond quickly; start at https://domain.pay/register.
For crypto payments, when does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run?
ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on 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.
