Frequently asked questions about shearwater.dot
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for digital wallets?
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.
How do I track the status of my shearwater.dot order?
You track the status of your shearwater.dot order from your domain.pay account, which shows whether shearwater.dot is queued, submitted to the registry, registered, or refunded if the attempt fails per the stated policy. Open your shearwater.dot order tracking at https://domain.pay/register.
Is .PAY a good fit for subscription billing for mobile money?
.PAY can work for subscription billing, account payment, renewal and failed-payment recovery flows. Search brandable options on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. A clear .PAY label can reduce confusion when customers need to update payment details.
Can I cancel a pre-order for shearwater.dot?
Pre-order handling for shearwater.dot follows our policy; a failed attempt is refundable, and cancellation terms are shown during checkout. The standard pre-order is $100. Review the terms when you place or manage your shearwater.dot pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.
For fraud prevention, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?
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.
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.
