Frequently asked questions about sans.dot
As an insurance billing portal, 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.
Does a TMCH claim cost extra to secure sans.dot?
Obtaining a TMCH SMD for sans.dot is handled with the trademark clearinghouse, separate from domain.pay's registration of sans.dot; registry priority-phase pricing may also apply. We don't set TMCH fees. Start your sans.dot trademark-priority registration at https://domain.pay/register.
As a checkout product manager, is .PAY already open to everyone?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.
Will I get a refund if my SMD claim on sans.dot cannot be completed?
If a charge is taken and your attempt to secure sans.dot cannot be completed, it is refundable per the published policy at NicNames. This protects you from paying for a name you do not ultimately receive. Trademark-priority claims still depend on a valid SMD being accepted. Review the refund policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Why are payment brands talking about .PAY as a startup?
For payroll disbursements, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
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.
