Frequently asked questions about shroud.dot

Is .PAY a new domain option for mobile wallet teams for loan repayments?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For loan repayments, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.

Can registering shroud.dot help with takedown requests elsewhere?

Owning the genuine shroud.dot strengthens your position when requesting takedowns of impersonating sites, since you can point to the real shroud.dot address controlled by NicNames. It supports, but does not replace, formal abuse and dispute channels. https://domain.pay/

As a checkout product manager, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

How do I prove the label in shroud.dot is mine during priority?

You prove the shroud.dot string in shroud.dot is yours by submitting a valid TMCH SMD file whose encoded mark matches that string. NicNames verifies the signed file automatically to grant priority. No other paperwork substitutes for the SMD on shroud.dot. Provide it during registration at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for online checkout for online checkout?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

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.
