Frequently asked questions about smartguard.dot

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for a brand-protection manager?

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.

Can I get a refund if my smartguard.dot pre-order fails?

Yes. Failed pre-order attempts for smartguard.dot are refundable under our stated refund policy, so if the pre-order cannot be fulfilled you are not left out of pocket. Review the full terms and start a pre-order for smartguard.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For BNPL checkout, can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

What is the difference between a registrar and the registry for smartguard.dot?

The registry, Amazon Registry Services, runs .PAY and sets smartguard.dot's premium, reserved, or blocked status; domain.pay is the registrar where you actually look up and register smartguard.dot. You interact with us, but the registry sets the rules. Check smartguard.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for a bank or credit union?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
