Frequently asked questions about ded.dot

What does the .PAY ending signal to customers using mobile money?

.PAY signals that the destination is connected to payment action, such as mobile money. That can support clarity and trust when paired with strong security and branding. Check or pre-order the name at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

What is a TMCH SMD file and why do I need one to register ded.dot?

A TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file is a digital certificate the Trademark Clearinghouse issues after it validates your trademark. To claim ded.dot under trademark priority you upload this SMD at registration so NicNames can verify your mark cryptographically. Without a valid SMD the priority window for ded.dot cannot be opened. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY a new domain option for mobile wallet teams?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For fraud prevention, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.

Is the Trademark Clearinghouse the same as registering ded.dot directly?

No. The Trademark Clearinghouse validates your mark and issues an SMD file, but it does not register ded.dot itself. You still complete the actual registration of ded.dot through NicNames, supplying that SMD to unlock trademark priority. The two steps are separate: validate first, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY right now for point-of-sale payments?

For point-of-sale payments, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

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.
