What should I know about Amazon Registry and .PAY before registering for point-of-sale payments?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A travel booking brand can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.

Where do I get the SMD file needed to secure apriori.dot?

You obtain the SMD file from the Trademark Clearinghouse after your trademark is recorded and validated there. Once issued, you download the .smd file and bring it to NicNames to claim apriori.dot under priority. NicNames does not issue SMD files itself. Start your priority registration of apriori.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

As a remittance app, would settle.pay work as a payment brand?

settle.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.

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.
