Frequently asked questions about smartguide.dot

What .PAY domain style is best for trust and conversion when choosing merchant.pay?

merchant.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

Can I transfer trademark priority on smartguide.dot to another company?

Priority on smartguide.dot is anchored to the validated TMCH mark and its SMD, so a change in who can claim it usually follows a transfer of the underlying trademark and TMCH record. The new owner would use their own valid SMD for smartguide.dot. Sort out the mark ownership first, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for crypto payments?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use smartguide.dot with a headless or Jamstack frontend?

Absolutely. Point smartguide.dot at your static/CDN host or edge platform, add smartguide.dot as the custom domain, and let it provision SSL. Jamstack deployments treat smartguide.dot like any custom domain, serving prebuilt pages fast worldwide. Connect smartguide.dot per your platform's docs.

Can a reserved .PAY name become available later when choosing merchant.pay?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

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.
