What is the role of the TMCH SMD file for cacao.dot?

A TMCH SMD file proves your registered trademark and lets you claim cacao.dot through trademark-priority registration ahead of the general public. It's the key to early access for brand owners. domain.pay processes your SMD file; learn how at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal for crypto payments?

Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.

Is identity verification part of getting cacao.dot?

Identity or registrant verification can be part of acquiring cacao.dot where the .PAY registry's validation calls for it. Requirements may vary by intended use and over time. domain.pay relays any verification steps so you can respond quickly; start at https://domain.pay/register.

Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names for mobile money?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

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.
