Frequently asked questions about iris.dot

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window when choosing donate.pay?

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 the TMCH charge me anything to enable an SMD for iris.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse sets its own fees for recording and validating your mark, independent of NicNames's registration pricing for iris.dot. NicNames's standard pre-order for iris.dot is listed at $100, separate from any TMCH costs. Plan for both when pursuing priority on iris.dot. See registrar pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For fraud prevention, do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?

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.

What does it mean to pre-order iris.dot before it launches?

Pre-ordering iris.dot reserves your place in line to register the name when the .PAY namespace opens it for general availability. The .PAY registry is operated by Amazon Registry Services, and a standard pre-order for iris.dot is listed at $100. Start at https://domain.pay/register to place your request.

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for point-of-sale payments?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

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.
