Frequently asked questions about salems.dot

For loan repayments, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

Why is impersonation on salems.dot harder for customers to detect?

Because .PAY implies a payment purpose, customers tend to assume any salems.dot address under it is legitimate, lowering their guard. That assumption is exactly why an unprotected salems.dot is dangerous and why NicNames should own it. https://domain.pay/register

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for loan repayments?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

How long does salems.dot eligibility review take?

The time to review salems.dot eligibility depends on the .PAY registry's validation workload and whether additional details are requested. Many registrations proceed without extended review, but timing isn't fixed. domain.pay keeps you updated throughout; start at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for online checkout?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY 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.
