Frequently asked questions about axf.dot

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for point-of-sale payments?

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 claiming axf.dot with an SMD stop others from using my brand elsewhere?

Claiming axf.dot with an SMD secures that specific .PAY name for your axf.dot mark, but it does not by itself police your brand on other domains or platforms. TMCH priority is name-specific. Use it to lock down axf.dot, then consider other names separately. Start with axf.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names for an ecommerce brand?

Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.

Which file format does NicNames accept for trademark priority on axf.dot?

NicNames accepts the standard .smd (Signed Mark Data) file issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse for trademark priority on axf.dot. The file is a signed, encoded representation of your validated axf.dot mark. Other documents cannot substitute for the SMD. Upload it during registration at https://domain.pay/register.

Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline for fraud prevention?

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.
