Frequently asked questions about circulate.dot
What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for crypto payments?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.
Does circulate.dot make my pricing or checkout page easier to find?
A clear, short address like circulate.dot is easier to type, remember, and link to than a deep checkout path, which helps customers find where to pay circulate.dot. You can route circulate.dot to pricing or checkout directly. Reserve circulate.dot at /register.
For crypto payments, how do I register loans.pay if it matches my trademark?
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.
What is the simplest summary of how to claim circulate.dot as a trademark holder?
In short: record your circulate.dot mark in the TMCH, download the validated SMD file, and submit it through NicNames during the priority phase to claim circulate.dot ahead of the public. If you lack an SMD, a standard pre-order for circulate.dot at $100 is the fallback. Get started at https://domain.pay/register.
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for loan repayments?
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.
