Frequently asked questions about slon.dot

For BNPL checkout, 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.

Are there any names like slon.dot reserved by the registry from SMD claims?

Amazon Registry Services may reserve certain strings under .PAY policy, which can affect whether a name like slon.dot is open to SMD-backed priority claims. Looking up slon.dot through NicNames shows whether it is available or reserved. Check the live status before relying on priority for slon.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.

For fraud prevention, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Does holding slon.dot help with chargeback and fraud reduction?

By keeping payments on the genuine slon.dot address, owning slon.dot reduces the chance customers are tricked into paying a fraudulent site, which can lower fraud-related disputes tied to NicNames. It is one control among several, not a complete fraud solution. https://domain.pay/

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for an event ticketing business?

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.
