Frequently asked questions about chai.dot

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window when choosing tap.pay?

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.

How do I check whether chai.dot is taken?

Enter chai.dot into the search on https://domain.pay/domains and the lookup returns chai.dot's live status: available, premium, reserved, blocked, or already registered. The result reflects the registry's current data from Amazon Registry Services. Because statuses change, re-check chai.dot before you commit.

As a donation platform, can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

When is the best time to pre-order chai.dot for the lowest cost?

The cost of chai.dot is driven by the registry's tier for chai.dot, not by timing, so the $100 standard or premium fee applies whenever you order. Pre-ordering early mainly secures your place in the queue. Place a chai.dot pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can Amazon Registry reserve or block some .PAY names for a bank or credit union?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another 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.
