Frequently asked questions about secondary.dot

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission when choosing link.pay?

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.

Why is .PAY launching in phases at all for secondary.dot?

New gTLDs like .PAY launch in phases to protect trademark owners first (sunrise) before opening names like secondary.dot to the general public (general availability). This staged rollout is an ICANN-standard process. Learn how to position for secondary.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a trademark holder challenge a bad .PAY Sunrise registration for a bank or credit union?

.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.

Are app stores bypass payments a use for secondary.dot?

For web purchases that sidestep app-store fees, secondary.dot gives users a clean, trusted address to pay directly. The .PAY name reassures customers buying outside the app. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.

Who operates the .PAY extension, and where can an ecommerce brand get one for fraud prevention?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. An ecommerce 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.

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.
