Frequently asked questions about mer.dot

What does it mean if a .PAY name is premium for a remittance app?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

What information is encoded inside the SMD I use for mer.dot?

The SMD you use for mer.dot encodes your validated mark text matching the mer.dot string, associated dates, and a cryptographic signature from the TMCH. NicNames reads this to confirm your priority eligibility for mer.dot. You never edit the file; you simply submit it. Upload it at https://domain.pay/register.

For payroll disbursements, can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL?

cloud.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

What does registered mean for mer.dot?

Registered means mer.dot is currently owned by someone who completed registration, so it's unavailable to claim until it lapses or is released. This differs from reserved or premium, which are registry classifications, not third-party ownership. Re-check mer.dot — registry status can change — at https://domain.pay/domains.

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for payroll disbursements?

.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.
