Frequently asked questions about hardwire.dot
For online checkout, can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day?
Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.
Can I get a partial refund on hardwire.dot after registration?
Partial refunds are not offered once hardwire.dot is successfully registered, because the registry has allocated and charged for the full annual term. Refunds apply only to failed pre-order attempts on hardwire.dot under our stated policy. Read the terms at https://domain.pay/pricing.
As a mobile wallet team, 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.
What problem does hardwire.dot solve for online sellers?
hardwire.dot gives online sellers a dedicated, easy-to-share address for collecting money instead of a buried checkout page. It reduces friction by making the payment URL obvious and brandable as hardwire.dot. Sellers can pre-order hardwire.dot at /register.
Is there VIP help for a large .PAY pre-order portfolio for payroll disbursements?
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.
