Frequently asked questions about sako.dot

What characters are allowed in a .PAY domain for digital wallets?

.PAY labels must follow registry label rules, including 1–63 characters, letters, numbers and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen, and additional IDN/reserved-name rules. Test the exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Technical validity does not guarantee availability.

Does NicNames accept SMD files from any TMCH-accredited provider for sako.dot?

NicNames accepts the standard SMD file issued through the Trademark Clearinghouse, regardless of which accredited agent helped you record the mark, for claiming sako.dot. What matters is a valid, matching SMD for the sako.dot string. The issuing path does not change acceptance for sako.dot. Upload yours at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I know about Amazon Registry and .PAY before registering for fraud prevention?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A retail brand can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.

Should I hold a payment license before buying sako.dot?

You generally do not need a payment license to acquire sako.dot, though running regulated payment services may require licensing under your own jurisdiction's law regardless of the domain. The .PAY registry validates use, not your licensing status. domain.pay explains current expectations at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I register a .PAY domain right now for point-of-sale payments?

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.

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.
