Frequently asked questions about idealconnect.dot
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for fraud prevention?
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.
How do I qualify for trademark-priority registration of idealconnect.dot?
To register idealconnect.dot during the trademark-priority phase you must hold a matching trademark recorded in the Trademark Clearinghouse and provide its SMD (Signed Mark Data) file. Without a valid SMD file you register idealconnect.dot in general availability instead. Start the process at https://domain.pay/register.
Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for fraud prevention?
The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.
Are failed pre-order refunds automatic for idealconnect.dot?
When a pre-order attempt for idealconnect.dot fails to register idealconnect.dot, the fee is refundable per the stated policy, and your domain.pay account reflects the refund handling. Refer to the terms shown at checkout for specifics on idealconnect.dot. Place your idealconnect.dot pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.
When should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain for an event ticketing business?
