Frequently asked questions about ecats.dot

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for crypto payments?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

Should I register ecats.dot even if I have no immediate use for it?

Yes. Defensive registration of ecats.dot keeps the official ecats.dot payment name out of impersonators' hands even before you build anything on it. With a $100 pre-order and refunds on failure, holding ecats.dot now is cheaper than a later dispute. https://domain.pay/register

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY?

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.

When should I claim ecats.dot during a trademark priority phase?

If you hold a registered mark for ecats.dot, record it in the TMCH and use your SMD file during the priority window so you can claim ecats.dot before general availability. Acting in the priority phase is the cleanest way to secure ecats.dot without a later dispute. Review timing options at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Who operates the .PAY extension, and where can a remittance app get one for BNPL checkout?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A remittance app can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.

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.
