Frequently asked questions about kido.dot
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for point-of-sale payments?
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.
Are there grace periods after I first register kido.dot?
New registrations typically include an add-grace period during which a deletion of kido.dot can be reversed, plus the normal annual term before renewal. These windows protect against mistakes right after you register kido.dot. Check the specific lifecycle terms for kido.dot at /pricing.
When should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain for mobile money?
Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Can kido.dot support a multi-currency storefront?
Yes. A storefront serving several currencies can keep its pay page on kido.dot regardless of the buyer's location. The neutral .PAY name reads as a payment surface in every market. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.
As a checkout product manager, where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check?
Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.
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.
