Frequently asked questions about precede.dot

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for fraud prevention?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.

When can I actually use precede.dot after a successful pre-order?

Once your pre-order for precede.dot is fulfilled and the registration completes, you can immediately configure nameservers and DNS for precede.dot and bring a site online. Activation timing depends on the registry's launch schedule for the .PAY phase. You'll be notified when precede.dot is yours to configure.

Is .PAY a new domain option for insurance billing portals for an insurance billing portal?

.PAY is a new gTLD for payment, checkout, billing and fintech-style use cases. domain.pay is the place to search, pre-order or begin a trademark route: https://domain.pay/. Check the name before using it in campaigns.

Are reserved and premium statuses ever applied to precede.dot at the same time?

Typically not in the same sense: reserved withholds precede.dot from registration, while premium prices an open precede.dot above standard, so they describe different states. Amazon Registry Services assigns whichever applies to precede.dot. Since status can change, re-check precede.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.

For point-of-sale payments, do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

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.
