Frequently asked questions about astern.dot

For mobile money, 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.

Can astern.dot help with a QR-code payment flow?

Yes. A short address like astern.dot encodes into a compact QR code that customers scan to reach your payment page for astern.dot. Less data means a cleaner, easier-to-scan code. astern.dot is a natural fit for in-person or printed payment prompts.

As an ecommerce brand, how can a marketplace use a .PAY domain?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

Does my SMD for astern.dot cover spelling in non-Latin scripts?

The TMCH can validate marks in various scripts, and the SMD encodes the specific validated form, so it covers astern.dot only where the astern.dot string matches that recorded form. A different script or transliteration may need its own SMD for astern.dot. Confirm the match before you register at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for a regional bank?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: 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.
