Frequently asked questions about clever.dot
As a donation platform, could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app?
Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.
Why do I need a TMCH SMD file to claim clever.dot?
A TMCH SMD file is the Trademark Clearinghouse's signed proof that you own a mark matching clever.dot, and the registry requires it to grant trademark-priority on clever.dot. Without it, you can still use a standard pre-order for clever.dot. Start either path at https://domain.pay/register.
Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for BNPL checkout?
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.
Is trademark ownership required to register clever.dot?
Trademark ownership is not required to register clever.dot, but if you hold a registered mark you may qualify for trademark-priority registration through TMCH using your SMD file. This can help you secure clever.dot ahead of general availability. domain.pay supports this at https://domain.pay/register.
What is the quickest path to secure a .PAY domain for a crypto or DeFi product when choosing instant.pay?
Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.
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.
