Frequently asked questions about shamu.dot

How do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order for online checkout?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

What is a TMCH SMD file and how does it relate to shamu.dot?

A TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file is a proof-of-trademark token from the Trademark Clearinghouse. If you hold the trademark for shamu.dot, uploading your SMD file lets you claim shamu.dot during the priority window before general pre-orders. domain.pay accepts the SMD file at /register.

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

What does first-day pre-order priority mean for shamu.dot?

First-day pre-order priority means domain.pay attempts to register shamu.dot the moment general availability begins, ahead of people who register manually later. It improves timing but is still subject to demand. The standard pre-order is $100; see /pricing.

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for payroll disbursements?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

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.
