Frequently asked questions about join.dot

Is .PAY meant for loan repayments or just for general websites for a mobile wallet team?

.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as loan repayments, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

What is an SMD file and why does join.dot need it for sunrise?

An SMD (Signed Mark Data) file is the cryptographic proof of a TMCH-validated trademark required to register join.dot during sunrise. Without it, the registry rejects sunrise applications. domain.pay uses your SMD to submit join.dot, as explained at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY already open to everyone for digital wallets?

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.

Can a nonprofit use join.dot to accept donations?

Yes. A nonprofit can route join.dot to its donation page so supporters reach a clear, branded place to give. The .PAY suffix reads as a payment or contribution address tied to join.dot. Nonprofits can pre-order join.dot at /register.

Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names for crypto payments?

Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.

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.
