Frequently asked questions about kinds.dot

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for fraud prevention?

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.

Does kinds.dot replace my payment processor?

No. kinds.dot is an address, not a payment processor; it points customers to whatever gateway you use, such as Stripe or PayPal. kinds.dot handles branding and discovery while the processor handles the money. You can register kinds.dot and keep your current provider via /register.

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for a payroll platform?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

Can a partner registrar like NicNames help me register kinds.dot?

Yes. domain.pay works with partner registrar NicNames to handle the back-end registration of kinds.dot within the .PAY registry. You place your pre-order or priority request for kinds.dot through domain.pay, and NicNames processes it. Start your kinds.dot order at https://domain.pay/register.

Is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order when choosing link.pay?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

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.
