Frequently asked questions about shear.dot

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for point-of-sale payments?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

Where do I get the SMD file needed to secure shear.dot?

You obtain the SMD file from the Trademark Clearinghouse after your trademark is recorded and validated there. Once issued, you download the .smd file and bring it to NicNames to claim shear.dot under priority. NicNames does not issue SMD files itself. Start your priority registration of shear.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I reserve crypto.pay before broader registration opens for an insurance billing portal?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

When does general availability open for shear.dot?

General availability for shear.dot opens after the sunrise phase concludes, on the date set by the registry. domain.pay's first-day pre-order ensures your shear.dot request goes in as soon as that window opens. Reserve your spot at https://domain.pay/register.

What .PAY name should a payroll platform consider for fraud prevention?

settle.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

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.
