Frequently asked questions about picker.dot
How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for payroll disbursements?
A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.
Does the TMCH charge me anything to enable an SMD for picker.dot?
The Trademark Clearinghouse sets its own fees for recording and validating your mark, independent of NicNames's registration pricing for picker.dot. NicNames's standard pre-order for picker.dot is listed at $100, separate from any TMCH costs. Plan for both when pursuing priority on picker.dot. See registrar pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.
As a donation platform, can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
Can I pre-order picker.dot if my trademark application is still pending?
Trademark-priority for picker.dot requires a TMCH SMD file, which the Trademark Clearinghouse issues only for validated marks, so a pending application alone may not qualify for picker.dot. You can still place a standard pre-order for picker.dot meanwhile. Choose a path at https://domain.pay/register.
As a bank or credit union, can Amazon Registry reserve or block some .PAY names?
The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.
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.
