Frequently asked questions about stop.dot

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for BNPL checkout?

.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.

Can I claim stop.dot for a brand spelled with numbers?

If your validated mark for the stop.dot string includes numbers and the SMD encodes that exact form, it can support a priority claim on stop.dot where the label matches. The TMCH matching rules govern whether stop.dot qualifies. Confirm the encoded form matches, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

As an event ticketing business, when should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Why does the registry control when stop.dot can be registered?

stop.dot can only be registered when Amazon Registry Services, the operator of .PAY, opens stop.dot in a launch phase such as Sunrise, priority, or general availability. domain.pay queues your request to match that schedule. Pre-order stop.dot so you are ready at https://domain.pay/register.

For online checkout, can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

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.
