Frequently asked questions about alta.dot
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for online checkout?
If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.
How early should I lock an alternative before alta.dot resolves?
Lock an alternative as soon as you find a clear, available alta.dot variant, rather than waiting for alta.dot to resolve, since refundable $100 pre-orders make early action low-risk. domain.pay lets you secure a fallback immediately. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.
What are good .PAY domain ideas for online checkout?
For online checkout, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.
When will my pre-order for alta.dot be fulfilled?
Your pre-order for alta.dot is submitted to the registry as soon as the name becomes registrable, and timing depends on Amazon Registry Services' launch schedule for .PAY. We cannot promise a specific date beyond when the registry opens alta.dot. Track your request from https://domain.pay/register.
How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration for point-of-sale payments?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
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.
