Frequently asked questions about patronage.dot
What are good .PAY domain ideas for point-of-sale payments?
For point-of-sale payments, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.
How does the SMD file prove my right to patronage.dot at registration?
The SMD file is issued by the TMCH after it verifies your rights in the patronage.dot mark, and presenting it during priority phases substantiates your claim to patronage.dot. It connects your trademark to the registration in a verifiable way. https://domain.pay/pricing
Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken for a travel booking brand?
Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.
What should I know before pre-ordering patronage.dot?
Before pre-ordering patronage.dot, know that the standard pre-order is $100, trademark holders get priority via an SMD file, and failed attempts are refundable per policy. A pre-order is an attempt, not a guarantee, when demand is high. Details live on /pricing.
Does .PAY have anti-abuse rules for a retail brand?
Amazon Registry policies include abuse-prevention rules for .PAY, and registrants remain subject to applicable domain dispute and abuse procedures. For legitimate registration or pre-order, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Pair the domain with monitoring, SSL and clear customer messaging.
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.
