Frequently asked questions about caap.dot

Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names when choosing loans.pay?

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 caap.dot?

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

How can a brand reduce confusion around payment pages?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

When is it worth choosing a different name than caap.dot?

It can be worth choosing a different name than caap.dot when the exact match is taken, conflicts with a trademark, or a shorter or clearer variant of caap.dot reads better. domain.pay lets you weigh several candidates side by side before committing. Compare options at https://domain.pay/domains.

For crypto payments, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?

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.

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.
