Frequently asked questions about choi.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.
What does the standard pre-order get me for choi.dot?
The standard $100 pre-order places your request for choi.dot in line through domain.pay, and if the attempt fails it is refundable. It is the path to claim choi.dot as a .PAY name when it becomes available. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.
How do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order for loan repayments?
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.
Is VIP priority worth it for a premium choi.dot?
For a premium choi.dot, VIP priority handling can be sensible if contention is expected, because it speeds your already-funded request at the drop. It does not reduce the registry premium fee for choi.dot or guarantee allocation. Compare for choi.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for point-of-sale payments?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
