Frequently asked questions about smaller.dot
How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain?
domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.
Should I consider the catalog's top picks instead of smaller.dot?
Considering the catalog's curated top picks instead of smaller.dot is worthwhile, since they are vetted payment-domain ideas that may outshine your first smaller.dot thought. domain.pay highlights these for quick evaluation. See top picks at https://domain.pay/domains.
When is broader .PAY public registration expected for online checkout?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.
Can I check whether smaller.dot matches a recorded trademark before I order?
Yes. Looking up smaller.dot through NicNames surfaces its phase and whether trademark-priority claims apply to the smaller.dot string. This helps you decide between a priority claim with an SMD or a standard pre-order for smaller.dot. Run the lookup before ordering at https://domain.pay/domains.
Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check for point-of-sale payments?
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.
