Frequently asked questions about barbq.dot

What is a .PAY domain and why does it matter for payroll disbursements?

For payroll disbursements, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Why is barbq.dot a cleaner option than a long subdomain?

A subdomain like pay.barbq.dot.com adds a layer and still depends on your .com, while barbq.dot is a standalone, purpose-built address. barbq.dot reads as a payment destination without nesting. That makes it simpler to share and brand.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for a brand-protection manager?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

Are gift-card sales a fit for barbq.dot?

A brand can sell and reload gift cards on barbq.dot, giving buyers a trusted, payment-native address. The .PAY name reassures shoppers buying credit for later use. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

As an ecommerce brand, can a reserved .PAY name become available later?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

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.
