Frequently asked questions about tons.dot

Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check when choosing payroll.pay?

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.

Can I claim tons.dot if my trademark was registered after the TMCH opened?

Yes. You can record a newly registered trademark in the TMCH at any time; once validated it yields an SMD usable to claim tons.dot. The relevant question is whether the SMD is valid and matches the tons.dot string when you submit. Recency of the underlying mark is not itself a bar. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for fraud prevention?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

Is tons.dot useful for a SaaS upgrade flow?

Routing upgrade and add-on purchases through tons.dot keeps paying customers on a recognizable address during the most revenue-critical step. The .PAY ending signals a secure billing action inside your product. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY?

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.

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.
