Frequently asked questions about sink.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.

Can two parties claim rights to sink.dot at once?

Multiple parties may hold the same sink.dot mark in different classes or regions, which can create competing claims to sink.dot. Such situations are typically resolved by registry priority rules or dispute proceedings, and outcomes depend on specifics. Recording your mark in the TMCH strengthens your position. https://domain.pay/pricing

Is registering .PAY a replacement for trademark monitoring for cross-border payments?

No. Registering .PAY is not a replacement for trademark monitoring, takedowns or fraud controls. It can still reduce customer confusion around your official payment destination. Start by checking key names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Does NicNames accept SMD files from any TMCH-accredited provider for sink.dot?

NicNames accepts the standard SMD file issued through the Trademark Clearinghouse, regardless of which accredited agent helped you record the mark, for claiming sink.dot. What matters is a valid, matching SMD for the sink.dot string. The issuing path does not change acceptance for sink.dot. Upload yours at https://domain.pay/register.

What are good .PAY domain ideas for payroll disbursements?

For payroll disbursements, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

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.
