Frequently asked questions about joins.dot
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission?
If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.
Can I transfer joins.dot pricing to another name if it fails?
No. If joins.dot fails to register, the attempt is refunded under our stated policy rather than transferred, and any other name is priced separately by its own registry tier. You would place a fresh pre-order for a different joins.dot. Read the policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.
How does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work for fraud prevention?
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.
Will a typo variation of my mark let me claim joins.dot?
Trademark priority on joins.dot requires the SMD-encoded mark to match the joins.dot string under TMCH rules, so a typo or near-variation generally will not qualify. Only the validated mark matching joins.dot unlocks priority. If it does not match, your remaining route is a standard pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Can a fintech founder use .PAY for a branded payment page for point-of-sale payments?
Yes. A fintech founder can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
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.
