Frequently asked questions about merci.dot

What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark when choosing settle.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.

What happens if I let merci.dot expire after registering it?

If merci.dot lapses, it can be re-registered by someone else, reopening the impersonation risk you closed. Keep merci.dot renewed so the merci.dot name stays continuously under NicNames's control. Manage your registration at https://domain.pay/.

What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY when choosing link.pay?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

What happens to my fee if merci.dot is allocated to a priority claimant?

If a trademark priority claimant is allocated merci.dot, your standard pre-order for merci.dot cannot be fulfilled and the fee is refundable per the stated policy. Priority claims are processed ahead of standard pre-orders by registry rules. Pre-order merci.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for online 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.

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.
