Frequently asked questions about shou.dot
For fraud prevention, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?
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.
Can I use shou.dot with a headless or Jamstack frontend?
Absolutely. Point shou.dot at your static/CDN host or edge platform, add shou.dot as the custom domain, and let it provision SSL. Jamstack deployments treat shou.dot like any custom domain, serving prebuilt pages fast worldwide. Connect shou.dot per your platform's docs.
For digital wallets, can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1?
An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.
How do I document a clear chain of ownership for shou.dot?
Keep accurate registrant records, trademark filings for the shou.dot name, and internal approvals so NicNames's chain of ownership over shou.dot is unambiguous. Good records support both renewals and any future dispute. https://domain.pay/
What happens to my money if the .PAY registration attempt fails when choosing tap.pay?
domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.
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.
