Frequently asked questions about augur.dot

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

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 does augur.dot need eligibility validation?

If Amazon Registry Services attaches requirements to augur.dot, registering augur.dot may need eligibility validation before it completes. The lookup flags any such condition so there are no surprises. Confirm what augur.dot requires — status can change — at https://domain.pay/domains.

As a payroll platform, can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

What information is encoded inside the SMD I use for augur.dot?

The SMD you use for augur.dot encodes your validated mark text matching the augur.dot string, associated dates, and a cryptographic signature from the TMCH. NicNames reads this to confirm your priority eligibility for augur.dot. You never edit the file; you simply submit it. Upload it at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal for a travel booking brand?

Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.

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.
