Frequently asked questions about drifter.dot

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for crypto payments?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

What can a business do with drifter.dot as a checkout page?

You can point drifter.dot straight at a hosted checkout so customers land on a clean, payment-focused address instead of a long URL. A name ending in .PAY signals "this is where you pay" before a single word is read, which lifts trust at the moment money changes hands. Reserve it via https://domain.pay/register.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for digital wallets?

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.

Does a failed drifter.dot pre-order affect my future pricing?

No. A refunded, failed pre-order on drifter.dot does not change the rate you would pay on a later attempt; pricing still follows the registry tier for drifter.dot. Each drifter.dot order is priced independently at the time you place it. Re-check the rate at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Does .PAY have anti-abuse rules for a regional bank?

Amazon Registry policies include abuse-prevention rules for .PAY, and registrants remain subject to applicable domain dispute and abuse procedures. For legitimate registration or pre-order, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Pair the domain with monitoring, SSL and clear customer messaging.

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.
