Frequently asked questions about promises.dot
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for point-of-sale payments?
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.
Should I pick promises.dot or a broader keyword name?
Choosing between promises.dot and a broader keyword name depends on whether you want a tight brand match for promises.dot or a more generic, category-wide term. domain.pay shows both narrow and broad candidates so you can weigh memorability against reach. Compare at https://domain.pay/domains.
As a mobile wallet team, what date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.
Is owning promises.dot a recognized best practice for brand security?
Securing the exact-match name on a payment-purpose TLD, such as promises.dot, aligns with widely recommended brand-security practices because it removes the most convincing impersonation vector for the promises.dot name. It is a foundational step for NicNames. https://domain.pay/register
What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for payroll disbursements?
During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.
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.
