As an ecommerce brand, how can a marketplace use a .PAY domain?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

Does a failed pre-order for wakeup.dot cost me anything?

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for a bank or credit union?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Are .PAY names like wakeup.dot treated as trustworthy by users?

A .PAY name like wakeup.dot signals a payments or fintech focus and, when paired with valid HTTPS, presents as a legitimate site. User trust comes from the padlock, clear branding, and content — not the extension alone. Keep wakeup.dot on HTTPS and consistent with your brand.

How do I register a .PAY domain as a startup?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

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.
