Frequently asked questions about readiness.dot

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for payroll disbursements?

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.

How do I make sure my SMD matches the exact label in readiness.dot?

Open your TMCH record to see the validated mark text, then compare it against the readiness.dot string in readiness.dot character by character before submitting. NicNames only grants priority when the SMD-encoded mark matches that label for readiness.dot. A mismatch routes you to standard pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How do I register a .PAY domain as a startup for payroll disbursements?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

What does readiness.dot cost to register?

The standard pre-order price for readiness.dot is listed at $100. Some labels are classified by the registry as premium, in which case readiness.dot would carry a higher recurring fee instead of the standard rate. You can confirm the live price for readiness.dot on our pricing page at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for an ecommerce brand?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

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.
