Frequently asked questions about citic.dot

Can I use nameservers and DNS like other domains with .PAY for point-of-sale payments?

After registration, plan DNS, SSL, redirects, security monitoring and payment-page controls as you would for a production domain. Start by securing the .PAY name through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. A domain alone does not make a checkout secure.

Is citic.dot tied to Amazon's own payment service?

No. Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY registry that citic.dot lives on, but owning citic.dot does not connect it to Amazon Pay or any Amazon product. You are free to route citic.dot to any processor you choose. The registry simply runs the namespace.

Can I renew a .PAY domain after registration for a donation platform?

.PAY names can be renewed through the registrar path if registry and registrar rules are met and renewal fees are paid. domain.pay explains the customer registration route here: https://domain.pay/register. Keep contact details current to avoid lifecycle problems.

When should trademark holders submit citic.dot?

Trademark holders should submit citic.dot during the sunrise phase, within the registry's published window, to claim it before general availability opens. domain.pay handles the citic.dot submission so you do not miss it. Prepare at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission when choosing wallet.pay?

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.
