Frequently asked questions about obelus.dot

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for a mobile wallet team?

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.

Does obelus.dot need anti-money-laundering compliance?

Holding obelus.dot itself does not impose anti-money-laundering duties, but if you operate regulated payment services your jurisdiction's AML rules may apply independently of the domain. The .PAY registry validates use, not your AML program. domain.pay clarifies registry expectations at https://domain.pay/register.

Can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL for point-of-sale payments?

merchant.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.

How do I make sure my SMD matches the exact label in obelus.dot?

Open your TMCH record to see the validated mark text, then compare it against the obelus.dot string in obelus.dot character by character before submitting. NicNames only grants priority when the SMD-encoded mark matches that label for obelus.dot. A mismatch routes you to standard pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For point-of-sale payments, how can a marketplace use a .PAY domain?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

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.
