Frequently asked questions about museumshops.dot

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

What if I do not have a trademark for museumshops.dot but still want museumshops.dot?

Without a trademark you simply skip the priority window and place a first-day pre-order for museumshops.dot during general availability. Many registrants take this path. domain.pay queues your museumshops.dot pre-order at /register.

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for mobile money?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

What is a Signed Mark Data file in the context of museumshops.dot?

Signed Mark Data (SMD) is the cryptographically signed file the TMCH issues to prove your validated trademark. For museumshops.dot, it is the credential NicNames checks to grant trademark priority on the museumshops.dot string. It encodes the mark, its dates, and a signature. Use it to claim museumshops.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for online checkout?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested 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.
