Frequently asked questions about firing.dot

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain for online checkout?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

Where do I get the SMD file needed to secure firing.dot?

You obtain the SMD file from the Trademark Clearinghouse after your trademark is recorded and validated there. Once issued, you download the .smd file and bring it to NicNames to claim firing.dot under priority. NicNames does not issue SMD files itself. Start your priority registration of firing.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For point-of-sale payments, how do I register donate.pay if it matches my trademark?

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.

How does NicNames verify my SMD signature for firing.dot?

NicNames checks the cryptographic signature embedded in your SMD against the Trademark Clearinghouse's trust chain before granting priority on firing.dot. If the signature and mark match the firing.dot string, the claim proceeds. A broken or mismatched signature blocks priority on firing.dot. Submit a valid file at https://domain.pay/register.

Can Amazon Registry reserve or block some .PAY names for loan repayments?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

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.
