Frequently asked questions about afx.dot
Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for BNPL checkout?
A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.
What is a TMCH SMD file and where do I get one for afx.dot?
A TMCH SMD file is a Signed Mark Data file issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse confirming you own a mark matching afx.dot; it is required for trademark-priority on afx.dot. You obtain it by validating your trademark with the Clearinghouse. Then start afx.dot priority at https://domain.pay/register.
Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for loan repayments?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
How do I start a fresh search after rejecting afx.dot?
After rejecting afx.dot, start fresh by entering a new afx.dot angle or browsing domain.pay's curated catalog from scratch. A clean search often surfaces options the first pass missed. Start fresh at https://domain.pay/domains.
Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for mobile money?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
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.
