Frequently asked questions about promoted.dot
For loan repayments, 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.
Is promoted.dot more sensitive to abuse because .PAY implies payments?
Yes. A payment-purpose TLD like .PAY raises anti-phishing and trust considerations because users reasonably expect promoted.dot to handle money. That heightened trust is valuable to your NicNames but also attractive to scammers, so owning promoted.dot protects both you and your customers. https://domain.pay/
Where can I generate .PAY ideas for BNPL checkout for BNPL checkout?
For BNPL checkout, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.
When can I register promoted.dot?
Trademark holders can claim promoted.dot first during the trademark-priority window, and everyone else can place a first-day pre-order for general availability. domain.pay queues your pre-order so it fires the moment promoted.dot opens. Start the pre-order at /register.
When is the .PAY Sunrise period for payroll disbursements?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
