Frequently asked questions about pepco.dot
How do I register donate.pay if it matches my trademark for mobile money?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
What is an SMD file and why does pepco.dot need it for sunrise?
An SMD (Signed Mark Data) file is the cryptographic proof of a TMCH-validated trademark required to register pepco.dot during sunrise. Without it, the registry rejects sunrise applications. domain.pay uses your SMD to submit pepco.dot, as explained at https://domain.pay/register.
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for BNPL checkout?
If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.
What does it mean if pepco.dot is marked premium?
A premium tag means the registry — Amazon Registry Services — has classified pepco.dot as higher-value, so pepco.dot carries a special wholesale price rather than the standard fee. Premium status is set by the registry, not by domain.pay, and it can change over time. See current pricing context at https://domain.pay/pricing and re-check pepco.dot for its live status.
What happens to my money if the .PAY registration attempt fails when choosing donate.pay?
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.
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.
