Frequently asked questions about bootstrap.dot

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for point-of-sale payments?

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.

Does my country's regulation affect bootstrap.dot?

Your country's financial regulation can affect how you operate payment services on bootstrap.dot, even though it does not change the .PAY registry's own eligibility framework. The two layers are separate. domain.pay handles registry-side eligibility; consult local counsel on regulation. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I register loans.pay if it matches my trademark?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Why are short .PAY names like bootstrap.dot in high demand at launch?

Short, payment-themed names such as bootstrap.dot are scarce and instantly communicate their purpose, so demand spikes during launch phases. Securing bootstrap.dot early through a pre-order is the practical response. Browse short names at https://domain.pay/domains.
