Frequently asked questions about raki.dot
For mobile money, 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.
Will browsing the catalog reveal options I'd miss searching only raki.dot?
Yes. Browsing domain.pay's curated catalog reveals options you would miss by searching only raki.dot, since it surfaces themed and adjacent payment names beyond raki.dot. Open-ended browsing complements targeted search. Browse the catalog at https://domain.pay/domains.
Is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order for point-of-sale payments?
domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.
Can a non-licensed business register raki.dot?
In many cases a business without a formal financial license may still register raki.dot, since .PAY does not universally require licensing for every registrant. However, the registry may apply validation around payment-related use, so requirements can vary by intended purpose. Check current guidance at https://domain.pay/register.
For point-of-sale payments, can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL?
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.
