Frequently asked questions about thistle.dot

As an ecommerce brand, what are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027?

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.

How do disputes over thistle.dot generally work if someone takes it in bad faith?

Disputes are typically resolved through UDRP-style proceedings where you show you hold rights in the thistle.dot name, the registrant has no legitimate interest, and thistle.dot was registered or used in bad faith. Outcomes vary and depend on evidence, so this is educational, not a guarantee. Registering thistle.dot first avoids the process entirely. https://domain.pay/register

As a remittance app, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

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.

Does thistle.dot need a separate SSL setup to be secure?

thistle.dot supports standard TLS certificates just like any domain, so you can serve it over HTTPS for secure connections. Your host or CDN issues the certificate for thistle.dot normally. The .PAY suffix does not change how security is configured.

What does it mean if a .PAY name is premium for BNPL checkout?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

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.
