Frequently asked questions about excursions.dot
Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for fraud prevention?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
What information is encoded inside the SMD I use for excursions.dot?
The SMD you use for excursions.dot encodes your validated mark text matching the excursions.dot string, associated dates, and a cryptographic signature from the TMCH. NicNames reads this to confirm your priority eligibility for excursions.dot. You never edit the file; you simply submit it. Upload it at https://domain.pay/register.
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for online checkout?
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 buy excursions.dot before or after building my product?
Securing excursions.dot early locks in the brand-matching name and prevents someone else from taking it while you build. A pre-order for excursions.dot is refundable if the attempt fails, so reserving it carries little downside. Start the pre-order for excursions.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Can a fintech founder use .PAY for a branded payment page?
Yes. A fintech founder can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
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.
