Frequently asked questions about apus.dot

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

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.

When is the best time to pre-order apus.dot for the lowest cost?

The cost of apus.dot is driven by the registry's tier for apus.dot, not by timing, so the $100 standard or premium fee applies whenever you order. Pre-ordering early mainly secures your place in the queue. Place a apus.dot pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for point-of-sale payments?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

How does a first-day pre-order beat manual registration of apus.dot?

A first-day pre-order has domain.pay submit apus.dot automatically at the exact opening of general availability, beating most manual attempts that start seconds or minutes late. It removes human reaction time from the race for apus.dot. Set it up at https://domain.pay/register.

Are IDN .PAY domains allowed for mobile money?

IDN .PAY names may be possible only in supported scripts and must meet registry rules. Use domain.pay to check the exact label and punycode-style status before planning a launch: https://domain.pay/register. Availability, premium and policy restrictions still apply.

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.
