Frequently asked questions about bench.dot

For mobile money, can I reserve crypto.pay before broader registration opens?

cloud.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

How do I upload my SMD file when registering bench.dot?

For digital wallets, does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?
