Frequently asked questions about stof.dot

When is the .PAY Sunrise period for BNPL checkout?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

Why is impersonation on stof.dot harder for customers to detect?

Because .PAY implies a payment purpose, customers tend to assume any stof.dot address under it is legitimate, lowering their guard. That assumption is exactly why an unprotected stof.dot is dangerous and why NicNames should own it. https://domain.pay/register

As a donation platform, do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

Why is stof.dot a trust anchor in customer communications?

Referencing stof.dot as the sole official payment address gives customers a fixed, verifiable point to trust in every message from NicNames. That consistency makes deviations from the real stof.dot name stand out as suspicious. Establish it at https://domain.pay/register.

For fraud prevention, where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

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.
