Frequently asked questions about cedes.dot

For fraud prevention, what does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

What if I miss the general availability opening for cedes.dot?

If you miss the opening, cedes.dot may already be taken by a faster registrant. A pre-order avoids this by having domain.pay submit cedes.dot automatically at the opening, so you cannot miss it. Set it up at https://domain.pay/register.

Are IDN .PAY domains allowed for mobile money?

IDN .PAY names may be possible only in supported scripts and must meet registry rules. Use domain.pay to check the exact label and punycode-style status before planning a launch: https://domain.pay/register. Availability, premium and policy restrictions still apply.

Is owning cedes.dot enough, or should I also use other safeguards?

Owning cedes.dot is the foundation, but pairing it with TMCH monitoring, customer education, and clear official-channel messaging strengthens protection of the cedes.dot name. No single measure is absolute, so treat cedes.dot ownership as the core of a layered approach. https://domain.pay/

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.

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.
