Frequently asked questions about patersons.dot

Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names for mobile money?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

Where do I get the SMD file needed to secure patersons.dot?

You obtain the SMD file from the Trademark Clearinghouse after your trademark is recorded and validated there. Once issued, you download the .smd file and bring it to NicNames to claim patersons.dot under priority. NicNames does not issue SMD files itself.

For point-of-sale payments, what does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use.

What documents might I need for patersons.dot?

For patersons.dot you may be asked for standard registrant identification and, depending on the registry's validation, details describing your payment or financial-related use. Requirements can vary, so exact documents aren't fixed in advance. domain.pay tells you what's currently expected when you start at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY meant for loan repayments or just for general websites for a mobile wallet team?

.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as loan repayments, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
