Frequently asked questions about automotive.dot

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

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.

How can a gym or studio use automotive.dot?

A gym can route memberships, drop-in classes, and renewals through automotive.dot so members always pay on one trusted address. The .PAY name fits cleanly on door signage and class schedules. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for BNPL checkout?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

Does automotive.dot require a separate account to upload my SMD?

You complete the SMD upload for automotive.dot within the NicNames registration flow, which guides you through providing the file and your details. The trademark-priority step for automotive.dot happens in that same flow rather than a separate portal. Begin and upload your SMD at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for crypto payments?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

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.
