Frequently asked questions about contract.dot
For online checkout, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?
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.
Can I find an exact-match name for contract.dot other than contract.dot?
Possibly. If contract.dot is not the only way to express contract.dot, domain.pay can surface alternate exact-match forms, hyphen-free variants, or close spellings. Searching contract.dot reveals what is available. Search exact matches at https://domain.pay/domains.
What .PAY name should an event ticketing business consider for an event ticketing business?
travel.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.
Where can I learn what domain.pay does before searching contract.dot?
You can learn what domain.pay does from its homepage before searching contract.dot: it lets you find, browse a curated catalog, and pre-order .PAY names like ones built on contract.dot. The site explains the pre-order flow there. Start at https://domain.pay/.
What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY when choosing cloud.pay?
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.
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.
