Frequently asked questions about ristretto.dot

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for an insurance billing portal?

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.

Should I secure ristretto.dot in addition to my main website domain?

Yes. Your main site protects your general brand, but ristretto.dot specifically protects the payment-trust layer that .PAY implies for NicNames. Holding both ensures the ristretto.dot name cannot be impersonated where money changes hands. https://domain.pay/register

Can a trademark holder challenge a bad .PAY Sunrise registration for in-app purchases?

.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.

What if I miss the priority window for ristretto.dot?

If the trademark-priority window for ristretto.dot closes before you act, you can still place a standard pre-order for ristretto.dot at the listed $100 and wait for general availability. Acting early reduces the chance another applicant secures ristretto.dot first. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use .PAY for redirects to my existing checkout?

Yes, you can use a .PAY domain as a clean branded entry point or redirect to an existing checkout, but implement redirects, SSL and tracking carefully. First secure or pre-order the label through domain.pay: 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.
