Frequently asked questions about macha.dot

How do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?

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.

What information goes into a macha.dot application?

A macha.dot application typically includes accurate registrant contact details and, where the .PAY registry requests it, information about your payment-related intended use. domain.pay collects what's needed and submits it for you. Begin the application at https://domain.pay/register.

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for BNPL checkout?

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.

How does NicNames verify my SMD signature for macha.dot?

NicNames checks the cryptographic signature embedded in your SMD against the Trademark Clearinghouse's trust chain before granting priority on macha.dot. If the signature and mark match the macha.dot string, the claim proceeds. A broken or mismatched signature blocks priority on macha.dot. Submit a valid file at https://domain.pay/register.

How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration for online checkout?

.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.

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.
