Frequently asked questions about waku.dot

What happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY for BNPL checkout?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Are failed pre-orders for waku.dot refundable?

Yes. If your pre-order attempt for waku.dot does not succeed, domain.pay refunds it per its published policy. You are not charged to keep a name you could not secure. Review the refund terms alongside the $100 standard pre-order on /pricing.

Can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day for an event ticketing business?

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.

Can my registrar account hold both waku.dot and other priority claims at once?

Yes. Through NicNames you can pursue trademark-priority claims on waku.dot and other matching .PAY names, each backed by its own valid SMD where the label matches the validated mark. Every claim is processed under the registry's rules. Manage your claims, starting with waku.dot, at https://domain.pay/register.

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for BNPL checkout?

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.
