Frequently asked questions about automaton.dot

Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period for mobile money?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

Can two people pre-order automaton.dot at the same price?

Multiple parties can pre-order automaton.dot at the same listed rate, but only one can ultimately be allocated the name by the registry. The unsuccessful automaton.dot pre-orders are refundable under our stated policy. Place yours and read the terms at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can a donation platform use .PAY for a branded payment page for loan repayments?

Yes. A donation platform can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

What is an SMD file and do I need one for automaton.dot?

A Signed Mark Data (SMD) file is the cryptographic proof issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse that you own a registered mark, and it lets you claim automaton.dot during sunrise. You only need it if automaton.dot corresponds to your trademark and you want priority. Otherwise a standard pre-order for automaton.dot is enough.

What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

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.
