Frequently asked questions about exchanges.dot

When should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain for point-of-sale payments?

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.

Why was my SMD rejected when claiming exchanges.dot?

An SMD claim on exchanges.dot can be rejected if the encoded mark does not match the exchanges.dot string, the SMD has expired, or the underlying TMCH record is no longer active. NicNames validates the file before granting priority. Refresh your TMCH record and re-export a current SMD, then retry at https://domain.pay/register.

Who operates the .PAY extension, and where can an ecommerce brand get one for fraud prevention?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. An ecommerce brand 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.

When is a UDRP-style dispute the right path for exchanges.dot?

A UDRP-style dispute is generally appropriate when someone has already registered exchanges.dot in bad faith and you hold rights in the exchanges.dot mark. It is a recovery tool rather than a first step, and outcomes are never guaranteed. Where possible, register exchanges.dot proactively to avoid disputes altogether. https://domain.pay/register

Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check when choosing crypto.pay?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

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.
