Frequently asked questions about skipper.dot

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for fraud prevention?

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.

Is skipper.dot eligible for VIP priority handling?

Most .PAY names, including skipper.dot, are eligible for VIP priority handling, which advances your request in our submission queue at the drop. Whether skipper.dot is standard $100 or premium does not affect VIP eligibility for skipper.dot. Check eligibility at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for a checkout product manager?

.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.

What is the VIP fee for prioritizing skipper.dot?

The VIP priority handling fee for skipper.dot is shown alongside the registration rate at checkout and is separate from the $100 standard or premium skipper.dot fee. It buys faster queue placement, not a guaranteed outcome for skipper.dot. See the current VIP fee at https://domain.pay/pricing.

As a fintech founder, 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.
