Frequently asked questions about forewarn.dot

As a donation platform, can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission?

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.

How can a QR code campaign use forewarn.dot?

Encode forewarn.dot into a QR code on posters, receipts, or packaging so a scan lands on a payment page with a name people can also type by hand. The .PAY ending reassures scanners that the destination is a pay step. Get the name at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I pay for a .PAY pre-order by card, wire or crypto when choosing wallet.pay?

domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.

Do I need a financial license to use forewarn.dot?

A financial license is not automatically required to register forewarn.dot, but if you operate regulated payment services your own jurisdiction may impose licensing duties independent of the domain. The .PAY registry's expectations focus on payment-related use rather than issuing licenses. domain.pay can clarify at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use nameservers and DNS like other domains with .PAY for payroll disbursements?

After registration, plan DNS, SSL, redirects, security monitoring and payment-page controls as you would for a production domain. Start by securing the .PAY name through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. A domain alone does not make a checkout secure.

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.
