Frequently asked questions about simulacra.dot

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for fraud prevention?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

Will simulacra.dot work as a tip jar for a food truck?

A food truck can post simulacra.dot so customers pay and tip from their phones without cash. The short payment-native name is easy to read off a window sticker. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP when choosing tap.pay?

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.

Can I use trademark priority and a standard pre-order together for simulacra.dot?

They're separate paths: a trademark-priority claim on simulacra.dot uses your TMCH SMD during the registry's priority window, while a $100 standard pre-order queues simulacra.dot for general availability. Pick the one that fits simulacra.dot's situation. Compare both for simulacra.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Are short .PAY names always available for a donation platform?

Short .PAY names are attractive but can be registered, premium, reserved or blocked. Do not assume availability from length alone. Search at domain.pay and verify before building a campaign: https://domain.pay/domains.

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.
