Frequently asked questions about shearing.dot

For mobile money, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

Why was .PAY created for payment use?

The .PAY TLD, operated by Amazon Registry Services, was created to give payments and financial services a clearly themed namespace, which is why shearing.dot may carry payment-related validation expectations. This helps signal trust to users. domain.pay can register shearing.dot within this namespace at https://domain.pay/register.

Could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app for crypto payments?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

Does the TMCH charge me anything to enable an SMD for shearing.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse sets its own fees for recording and validating your mark, independent of NicNames's registration pricing for shearing.dot. NicNames's standard pre-order for shearing.dot is listed at $100, separate from any TMCH costs. Plan for both when pursuing priority on shearing.dot. See registrar pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Before choosing wallet.pay, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

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.
