Frequently asked questions about sapling.dot
How much is the .PAY trademark fast-track if I need TMCH help for a regional bank?
domain.pay lists the full trademark fast-track at $2,500 when you need end-to-end TMCH/SMD assistance, plus any premium registry retail fee. Confirm the details here: https://domain.pay/pricing. If you already have an SMD file, a lower submission-only path may apply.
Does sapling.dot availability depend on the launch timeline?
Yes — before general availability, sapling.dot can only be pre-ordered, and reserved or blocked labels stay closed regardless of timeline. Amazon Registry Services controls the schedule. Check where sapling.dot stands in the timeline at https://domain.pay/domains.
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.
Can sapling.dot redirect customers to an existing store?
Yes. You can use sapling.dot as a short, brandable redirect that forwards to your main store or a specific product page, so print ads and packaging carry one clean address. The .PAY ending makes the destination feel like a secure payment step. Set it up after registering at https://domain.pay/register.
For online checkout, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
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.
