Frequently asked questions about grouper.dot

For fraud prevention, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?

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.

Does domain.pay reserve grouper.dot on its own?

No — reservations on grouper.dot come from the registry, Amazon Registry Services, not from domain.pay. We display the registry's classification and let you pre-order or register grouper.dot when it's open. Check the registry status of grouper.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.

For fraud prevention, who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

Is a trademark required for every phase of grouper.dot?

No. A trademark is required only for the sunrise phase of grouper.dot; general availability has no such requirement. domain.pay queues grouper.dot for whichever phase you qualify for. Choose your path at https://domain.pay/register.

For digital wallets, how do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

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.
