Frequently asked questions about waive.dot

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for point-of-sale payments?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.

Does Amazon Registry Services review my SMD for waive.dot directly?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY registry and defines the priority rules, but you submit your SMD for waive.dot through NicNames as your registrar. NicNames validates the SMD and passes the qualifying claim to the registry. You do not deal with Amazon Registry Services directly for waive.dot. Register via NicNames at https://domain.pay/register.

For payroll disbursements, can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

How early should I lock an alternative before waive.dot resolves?

Lock an alternative as soon as you find a clear, available waive.dot variant, rather than waiting for waive.dot to resolve, since refundable $100 pre-orders make early action low-risk. domain.pay lets you secure a fallback immediately. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I check technically before launching a .PAY payment site for BNPL checkout?

Before launching a .PAY payment site, verify the label, DNS, SSL, redirects, monitoring, checkout security and compliance obligations. Secure or pre-order the domain through domain.pay first: https://domain.pay/register. Treat the domain as one part of a trusted payment flow.

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.
