Frequently asked questions about promptly.dot
As a fintech founder, how much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain?
domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.
Where do I get the SMD file needed to secure promptly.dot?
You obtain the SMD file from the Trademark Clearinghouse after your trademark is recorded and validated there. Once issued, you download the .smd file and bring it to NicNames to claim promptly.dot under priority. NicNames does not issue SMD files itself. Start your priority registration of promptly.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period when choosing link.pay?
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.
Is promptly.dot appropriate for a tip or pay-what-you-want page?
Yes. promptly.dot is a clear, friendly address for tips, gratuities, or pay-what-you-want pages where you want people to send money easily. The .PAY suffix tells supporters of promptly.dot exactly what to do. You can set this up after registering at /register.
For crypto payments, can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?
A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: 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.
