Frequently asked questions about ascertain.dot

Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken for a regional bank?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

How do I set up email on ascertain.dot?

To send and receive mail at ascertain.dot, choose a mailbox provider, then add their MX records to your DNS plus SPF, DKIM, and DMARC TXT records for deliverability. Mail won't flow until the MX records for ascertain.dot propagate. Manage the domain's DNS from /domains.

Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names for an ecommerce brand?

Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.

What if I overpaid for ascertain.dot?

If you believe you were charged incorrectly for ascertain.dot, contact us and we will reconcile against the registry tier for ascertain.dot and our stated refund policy. Failed-attempt overcharges on ascertain.dot are refundable. Review the policy and reach us via https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for BNPL 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.

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.
