Frequently asked questions about merchantcard.dot

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

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.

Can merchantcard.dot simply redirect to my existing payment processor?

Yes. Many owners point merchantcard.dot as a redirect to a Stripe, PayPal, or custom checkout link, so customers see the clean merchantcard.dot address while the processor handles the transaction. You keep your existing setup and gain a memorable front door. Register merchantcard.dot at /register.

When should a payroll platform pre-order a .PAY domain for digital wallets?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.

Are catalog names vetted differently from a raw search for merchantcard.dot?

Yes. domain.pay's catalog names are curated, while a raw search for merchantcard.dot returns broader matches on merchantcard.dot. Browsing the catalog gives you a hand-picked shortlist alongside open search. Browse curated names at https://domain.pay/domains.

When is broader .PAY public registration expected when choosing travel.pay?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: 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.
