Frequently asked questions about alias.dot

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for fraud prevention?

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.

What documentation proves my alias.dot pre-order is refundable?

Your order confirmation and account history record the alias.dot pre-order and its status, and if the attempt fails the refund follows our stated policy automatically. These records show that the failed alias.dot attempt qualified. Review them and the policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For BNPL checkout, how do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

How do I choose between alias.dot and a coined alternative for trademarks?

For trademark strength, a coined alternative may protect more easily than the descriptive alias.dot, though alias.dot reads clearer for alias.dot. domain.pay shows both so you can weigh protectability against clarity. Note that mark holders can claim TMCH SMD priority. Compare at https://domain.pay/domains.

When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain for BNPL checkout?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
