Frequently asked questions about metacode.dot
Would settle.pay work as a payment brand when choosing settle.pay?
settle.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.
Why does metacode.dot need eligibility validation?
If Amazon Registry Services attaches requirements to metacode.dot, registering metacode.dot may need eligibility validation before it completes. The lookup flags any such condition so there are no surprises. Confirm what metacode.dot requires — status can change — at https://domain.pay/domains.
When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain when choosing merchant.pay?
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.
Does metacode.dot require a separate account to upload my SMD?
You complete the SMD upload for metacode.dot within the NicNames registration flow, which guides you through providing the file and your details. The trademark-priority step for metacode.dot happens in that same flow rather than a separate portal. Begin and upload your SMD at https://domain.pay/register.
Who operates the .PAY extension, and where can a remittance app get one?
Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A remittance app 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.
