Frequently asked questions about globalgiving.dot

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window when choosing donate.pay?

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.

Is NicNames a better fit than globalgiving.dot for my idea?

Whether NicNames fits better than globalgiving.dot depends on how cleanly each captures globalgiving.dot and reads as a payment name. domain.pay lets you place NicNames and globalgiving.dot side by side to judge clarity and recall. Compare them at https://domain.pay/domains.

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration when choosing donate.pay?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Does VIP handling guarantee I get globalgiving.dot?

No. VIP handling prioritizes your globalgiving.dot request in our submission queue but cannot guarantee allocation, because Amazon Registry Services makes the final assignment for globalgiving.dot. It maximizes your chances rather than promising the outcome. See what VIP includes at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY for cross-border payments?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

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.
