Frequently asked questions about holdback.dot

For BNPL checkout, can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

Can I claim holdback.dot with a trademark even if it's reserved?

A reserved label is generally withheld by Amazon Registry Services, but holding a TMCH SMD for holdback.dot may let you participate in the trademark-priority phase depending on registry rules for holdback.dot. Eligibility is determined by the registry. Start your holdback.dot trademark claim at https://domain.pay/register.

Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for online checkout for a checkout product manager?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

How do I renew my TMCH record so I keep priority for holdback.dot?

You renew your TMCH record through the Trademark Clearinghouse before it lapses; an active record is what keeps your SMD valid for claiming holdback.dot. If the record expires, the SMD stops working and your priority on holdback.dot cannot be honoured. Keep it current, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

As a checkout product manager, is .PAY already open to everyone?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
