Frequently asked questions about merit.dot

Can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day for crypto payments?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

Why did the price of merit.dot change since I last checked?

The price of merit.dot can change if Amazon Registry Services re-tiers merit.dot between standard and premium, since we display the live registry rate. The $100 figure is the standard baseline, not a guaranteed lock. Re-check the current price for merit.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

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

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.

Is merit.dot a premium domain with a higher fee?

Possibly. The registry may classify merit.dot as premium, in which case merit.dot carries a higher fee than the $100 standard rate. The only stated fixed fact is the $100 standard price; premium tiers vary per label. Confirm whether merit.dot is premium at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Is .PAY already open to everyone for an ecommerce brand?

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. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.

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.
