Frequently asked questions about connec.dot

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for point-of-sale payments?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

Is connec.dot eligible for VIP priority handling?

Most .PAY names, including connec.dot, are eligible for VIP priority handling, which advances your request in our submission queue at the drop. Whether connec.dot is standard $100 or premium does not affect VIP eligibility for connec.dot. Check eligibility at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For digital wallets, how do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

Which file format does NicNames accept for trademark priority on connec.dot?

NicNames accepts the standard .smd (Signed Mark Data) file issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse for trademark priority on connec.dot. The file is a signed, encoded representation of your validated connec.dot mark. Other documents cannot substitute for the SMD. Upload it during registration at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order for crypto payments?

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.

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.
