Frequently asked questions about e-pool.dot

Can I pay for a .PAY pre-order by card, wire or crypto for point-of-sale payments?

domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.

What is an SMD file and do I need one for e-pool.dot?

A Signed Mark Data (SMD) file is the cryptographic proof issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse that you own a registered mark, and it lets you claim e-pool.dot during sunrise. You only need it if e-pool.dot corresponds to your trademark and you want priority. Otherwise a standard pre-order for e-pool.dot is enough.

As an event ticketing business, when should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

What is a TMCH SMD file and where do I get one for e-pool.dot?

A TMCH SMD file is a Signed Mark Data file issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse confirming you own a mark matching e-pool.dot; it is required for trademark-priority on e-pool.dot. You obtain it by validating your trademark with the Clearinghouse. Then start e-pool.dot priority at https://domain.pay/register.

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for fraud prevention?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

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.
