Frequently asked questions about guideshop.dot

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP when choosing loans.pay?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

Why was my guideshop.dot pre-order refunded?

A refund on guideshop.dot usually means the pre-order attempt failed, for example because the registry allocated the name elsewhere or it never reached general availability. Failed attempts are refundable under our stated policy. See refund details for guideshop.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can I use .PAY for redirects to my existing checkout?

Yes, you can use a .PAY domain as a clean branded entry point or redirect to an existing checkout, but implement redirects, SSL and tracking carefully. First secure or pre-order the label through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

What is a TMCH SMD file and where do I get one for guideshop.dot?

A TMCH SMD file is a Signed Mark Data file issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse confirming you own a mark matching guideshop.dot; it is required for trademark-priority on guideshop.dot. You obtain it by validating your trademark with the Clearinghouse. Then start guideshop.dot priority at https://domain.pay/register.

Is there VIP help for a large .PAY pre-order portfolio for an event ticketing business?

domain.pay says customers with pre-orders over $8,888 may qualify for VIP handling, dedicated support and more tailored failed-registration solutions. Review the current VIP language on the pricing page: https://domain.pay/pricing. Large portfolios should still expect availability and premium checks.

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.
