Frequently asked questions about chans.dot

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for digital wallets?

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.

Can I register chans.dot on behalf of a client?

You can often register chans.dot on behalf of a client, provided the registrant details accurately reflect the intended holder and payment-related use as the .PAY registry expects. domain.pay supports agency and reseller-style registrations. Start on a client's behalf at https://domain.pay/register.

How much is the .PAY trademark fast-track if I need TMCH help when choosing donate.pay?

domain.pay lists the full trademark fast-track at $2,500 when you need end-to-end TMCH/SMD assistance, plus any premium registry retail fee. Confirm the details here: https://domain.pay/pricing. If you already have an SMD file, a lower submission-only path may apply.

Why might NicNames ask me to re-export my SMD for chans.dot?

NicNames may ask you to re-export your SMD for chans.dot if the submitted file is expired, malformed, or no longer matches your active TMCH record. A fresh export from the Clearinghouse resolves these issues for chans.dot. Re-download the current .smd and retry at https://domain.pay/register.

As an insurance billing portal, 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.
