Frequently asked questions about fren.dot

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for point-of-sale payments?

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.

How is premium different from reserved for fren.dot?

For fren.dot, premium means the registry allows registration but at a higher wholesale price, while reserved means Amazon Registry Services has withheld it from registration entirely. One is buyable at a special price; the other isn't open at all. Confirm which applies to fren.dot — status can change — at https://domain.pay/domains.

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for an ecommerce brand?

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.

Does NicNames refund taxes on a failed fren.dot pre-order?

When a fren.dot pre-order attempt fails, the refund under our stated policy returns the amount you were charged, including taxes collected on that failed attempt where applicable. NicNames reconciles this with your payment provider. Read the refund terms for fren.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How do I know if subscriptions.pay is available for a brand-protection manager?

Search the exact .PAY label at domain.pay to see current availability and premium status: https://domain.pay/domains. Availability can change quickly during launch phases, so verify before publishing names, ads or product screens.
