Frequently asked questions about metropolia.dot

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.

Are there design or logo marks that work as an SMD for metropolia.dot?

The TMCH validates word elements of marks for matching purposes, so a design or logo mark must have a textual metropolia.dot component to support an SMD claim on metropolia.dot. Purely figurative marks with no qualifying text generally cannot produce a usable SMD for metropolia.dot. Check your mark, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline for payroll disbursements?

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 is a registrar lock and should metropolia.dot have one?

A registrar (transfer) lock prevents metropolia.dot from being moved without your explicit approval, guarding against hijacking. Keep metropolia.dot locked except during a deliberate transfer. You can toggle the lock for metropolia.dot in your account's domain settings.

What characters are allowed in a .PAY domain for online checkout?

.PAY labels must follow registry label rules, including 1–63 characters, letters, numbers and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen, and additional IDN/reserved-name rules. Test the exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Technical validity does not guarantee availability.

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.
