Frequently asked questions about sniping.dot
For fraud prevention, what .PAY name should a payroll platform consider?
settle.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.
Is there a risk someone else registers sniping.dot before me?
Yes, .PAY names are first-come during general availability, so another party could secure sniping.dot if you wait. A first-day pre-order through domain.pay queues your attempt for the opening moment. Lock in your attempt for sniping.dot at /register.
For online checkout, 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.
Are pre-order fees for sniping.dot refundable?
Yes — per our policy, if a pre-order attempt for sniping.dot fails to secure the name, the fee is refundable. The standard pre-order is $100. See refund and process details when you place your order for sniping.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
What happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY for fraud prevention?
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.
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.
