Frequently asked questions about driv.dot
What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for an ecommerce brand?
domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.
Will NicNames store my SMD file after registering driv.dot?
NicNames uses your SMD file to validate and process your priority claim on driv.dot during registration. The SMD itself is tied to your TMCH record, which the Clearinghouse maintains independently. Handle your SMD securely since it represents your validated rights to driv.dot. Begin registration at https://domain.pay/register.
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for a bank or credit union?
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.
Is driv.dot a good choice for a checkout solution?
driv.dot is well suited to a checkout or point-of-sale solution, as these are core payment functions matching the .PAY namespace. The registry typically validates that intended use fits the TLD. domain.pay can register driv.dot for your checkout product at https://domain.pay/register.
Would travel.pay work as a payment brand when choosing travel.pay?
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.
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.
