Frequently asked questions about wao.dot
When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin when choosing merchant.pay?
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.
When should trademark holders submit wao.dot?
Trademark holders should submit wao.dot during the sunrise phase, within the registry's published window, to claim it before general availability opens. domain.pay handles the wao.dot submission so you do not miss it. Prepare at https://domain.pay/register.
Is .PAY a good fit for subscription billing for digital wallets?
Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.
What happens after I submit my pre-order for wao.dot?
After submitting your pre-order for wao.dot, we hold the request and submit it to the registry when wao.dot becomes registrable. If the attempt succeeds, wao.dot is registered to you; if it fails, the fee is refundable per the stated policy. Track everything from https://domain.pay/register.
As an event ticketing business, how do I register loans.pay if it matches my trademark?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
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.
