Frequently asked questions about associations.dot

Is .PAY meant for crypto payments or just for general websites for a bank or credit union?

.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as crypto payments, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

How does sunrise work for associations.dot?

Sunrise is the first launch phase, open only to brand owners with a trademark validated through the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) and an SMD file. If you hold a matching mark, domain.pay can submit associations.dot during sunrise on your behalf. Learn about trademark-priority registration at https://domain.pay/register.

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

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.

Why should my brand secure associations.dot before anyone else does?

Securing associations.dot early prevents a third party from registering your brand on a payment-purpose TLD where impersonation carries extra risk. .PAY is operated by Amazon Registry Services, and once a name is taken you may be left pursuing a dispute instead of simply owning it. Pre-order associations.dot to keep control in your hands. https://domain.pay/register

For mobile money, how do I register donate.pay if it matches my trademark?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

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.
