Frequently asked questions about rst.dot

As a checkout product manager, where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

Is a TMCH SMD file required to pre-order rst.dot?

No — a standard $100 pre-order for rst.dot doesn't require an SMD file. You only need a TMCH SMD if you want trademark priority on rst.dot ahead of general applicants. Choose the right path for rst.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Should an ecommerce brand protect its exact brand in .PAY for an ecommerce brand?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

Are all .PAY domains like rst.dot subject to sunrise?

The sunrise phase applies across the .PAY namespace, so rst.dot is subject to it, but you only participate in sunrise if you hold a matching trademark. Otherwise rst.dot is registrable in general availability. domain.pay routes it at https://domain.pay/register.

For digital wallets, 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.

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.
