Frequently asked questions about kic.dot

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for a remittance app?

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.

How do I check whether kic.dot is still available?

To check whether kic.dot is still available, enter kic.dot in the search on domain.pay, which shows its current registry status, pre-order, or priority eligibility. Availability changes as the .PAY launch progresses. Check the live status of kic.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for a fintech founder?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

How do I know if kic.dot is still in the trademark-priority phase?

Availability and phase status for kic.dot are shown when you look it up through NicNames. If kic.dot is still in the priority phase, SMD-backed claims are accepted; once it passes, the name moves to pre-order and then general registration. Check the live status at https://domain.pay/domains.

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

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.
