Frequently asked questions about 8x8.dot
How do I register donate.pay if it matches my trademark for point-of-sale payments?
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.
What happens to my pre-order if 8x8.dot is reserved at launch?
If 8x8.dot turns out reserved or blocked at launch and can't be allocated to you, the pre-order can't complete and the fee is refundable per policy. Registry decisions rest with Amazon Registry Services. Place your 8x8.dot pre-order, terms and all, at https://domain.pay/register.
Can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL for point-of-sale payments?
merchant.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.
Why confirm availability before settling on 8x8.dot?
Confirming availability before settling on 8x8.dot avoids building plans around a taken name, and domain.pay shows status so you can pivot to an open 8x8.dot variant early. Early confirmation saves rework. Check status at https://domain.pay/domains.
As a bank or credit union, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
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.
