Frequently asked questions about epw.dot

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

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.

Should my final pick read better than epw.dot in an ad?

Yes, your final pick should read at least as cleanly as epw.dot in an ad, where short, clear epw.dot wording catches the eye fastest. domain.pay's comparison view helps you test how candidates look in headlines. Compare options at https://domain.pay/domains.

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 when choosing bank.pay?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

What is the difference between a registrar and the registry for epw.dot?

The registry, Amazon Registry Services, runs .PAY and sets epw.dot's premium, reserved, or blocked status; domain.pay is the registrar where you actually look up and register epw.dot. You interact with us, but the registry sets the rules. Check epw.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.

When should a payroll platform pre-order a .PAY domain for a payroll platform?
