Frequently asked questions about craton.dot

As a checkout product manager, can a reserved .PAY name become available later?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

What proof does NicNames need to grant me priority on craton.dot?

To grant trademark priority on craton.dot, NicNames needs a valid TMCH SMD file whose encoded mark matches the craton.dot string. The SMD is your cryptographic proof of validated trademark rights. No SMD means no priority claim is possible for craton.dot. Submit your proof at https://domain.pay/register.

For BNPL checkout, can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

Why is craton.dot priced higher than the standard $100?

If craton.dot costs more than the $100 standard rate, the registry has likely classified craton.dot as a premium name. Amazon Registry Services, the operator of .PAY, sets premium tiers per label, and those fees recur at renewal. Check the exact tier for craton.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

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.
