Frequently asked questions about payyou.dot
For fraud prevention, 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 lost the SMD file I need for payyou.dot?
If you misplaced the SMD file for claiming payyou.dot, you re-download it from your Trademark Clearinghouse account, where active records expose the current .smd. There is no need to re-validate the mark as long as the TMCH record is active. Retrieve it, then claim payyou.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP when choosing donate.pay?
An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.
How does payyou.dot compare to using a /pay path on a .com site?
With payyou.dot the payment intent lives in the domain itself, while a /pay path hangs off a longer .com URL that may be hard to recall. payyou.dot is easier to say aloud, print, or put on a QR code. Both can route to the same processor, but payyou.dot is the cleaner address.
Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline for a travel booking brand?
TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.
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.
