Frequently asked questions about appt.dot
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for point-of-sale payments?
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.
Does appt.dot need a CAA record for SSL?
A CAA record on appt.dot restricts which certificate authorities may issue certs for it, adding a layer of security. It's optional but recommended; list the CA you use (e.g. letsencrypt.org) for appt.dot. Add the CAA record in DNS before requesting new certificates.
Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal when choosing subscriptions.pay?
Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.
What is the safest way to confirm appt.dot before paying?
Run a fresh lookup for appt.dot at https://domain.pay/domains right before checkout, since registry status from Amazon Registry Services can change between visits. The latest result tells you whether appt.dot is open, premium, or taken. Re-check appt.dot just before you pay.
What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark for crypto payments?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: 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.
