Frequently asked questions about masquerade.dot

For crypto payments, is .PAY a good fit for subscription billing?

.PAY can work for subscription billing, account payment, renewal and failed-payment recovery flows. Search brandable options on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. A clear .PAY label can reduce confusion when customers need to update payment details.

How early should I pre-order masquerade.dot?

The earlier you pre-order masquerade.dot, the sooner your request is queued, which can matter for sought-after payment labels. There is no penalty for pre-ordering well ahead of the phase opening. Lock in your queue spot at https://domain.pay/register.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for mobile money?

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.

Does Amazon Registry Services review my SMD for masquerade.dot directly?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY registry and defines the priority rules, but you submit your SMD for masquerade.dot through NicNames as your registrar. NicNames validates the SMD and passes the qualifying claim to the registry. You do not deal with Amazon Registry Services directly for masquerade.dot. Register via NicNames at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I know about Amazon Registry and .PAY before registering for digital wallets?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A retail brand can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.

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.
