Frequently asked questions about kydex.dot

For online checkout, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?

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.

How does domain.pay handle the timing of my kydex.dot request?

domain.pay stages your kydex.dot pre-order and submits it to the registry the instant the correct phase opens, removing the need for you to watch the clock. For trademark holders it targets sunrise; for everyone else, first-day general availability. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY meant for point-of-sale payments or just for general websites?

.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as point-of-sale payments, 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/.

Does owning kydex.dot require a trademark?

No, a trademark is not required to own kydex.dot. A trademark only grants priority during the early window; without one you can still place a first-day pre-order for kydex.dot. Trademark holders simply get to claim kydex.dot names ahead of the general queue at /register.

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for loan repayments?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
