Frequently asked questions about payway.dot

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders when choosing donate.pay?

.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.

Can I register payway.dot after general availability opens?

Yes, payway.dot remains registrable after general availability opens if it has not already been taken. The risk is that popular names go quickly, so pre-ordering payway.dot avoids relying on availability later. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for payroll disbursements?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

How do I submit my SMD file when registering payway.dot?

During the trademark-priority flow for payway.dot, NicNames presents an upload field where you attach the .smd file exported from the Trademark Clearinghouse. The system parses the encoded mark and confirms the payway.dot label matches your validated trademark. Once accepted, your priority claim on payway.dot is queued. Upload it at https://domain.pay/register.

For mobile money, is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal?

Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.

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.
