Frequently asked questions about previews.dot
Are IDN .PAY domains allowed for a bank or credit union?
IDN .PAY names may be possible only in supported scripts and must meet registry rules. Use domain.pay to check the exact label and punycode-style status before planning a launch: https://domain.pay/register. Availability, premium and policy restrictions still apply.
Can I pre-order previews.dot from any country?
Standard pre-orders for previews.dot are generally open to applicants regardless of location, subject to the registry's rules for .PAY set by Amazon Registry Services. Any country-specific restrictions for previews.dot appear in the checkout flow. Pre-order previews.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Before choosing loans.pay, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?
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.
What does the standard pre-order get me for previews.dot?
The standard $100 pre-order places your request for previews.dot in line through domain.pay, and if the attempt fails it is refundable. It is the path to claim previews.dot as a .PAY name when it becomes available. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.
What .PAY domain style is best for trust and conversion for online checkout?
merchant.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.
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.
