Frequently asked questions about sideways.dot

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

How do I make sure my SMD matches the exact label in sideways.dot?

Open your TMCH record to see the validated mark text, then compare it against the sideways.dot string in sideways.dot character by character before submitting. NicNames only grants priority when the SMD-encoded mark matches that label for sideways.dot. A mismatch routes you to standard pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For digital wallets, what should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY?

Trademark owners should act before the July 20, 2026 .PAY priority deadline. domain.pay also notes that TMCH support should begin earlier, by July 10, 2026. Check your label and start here: https://domain.pay/register. Late action may push you into later phases.

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

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

Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for digital wallets for digital wallets?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

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.
