Frequently asked questions about smartstops.dot

For digital wallets, can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

Can I pre-order smartstops.dot now and pay the premium fee later?

Placing a smartstops.dot pre-order authorizes the applicable fee up front, including a premium fee if the registry has tiered smartstops.dot that way, so payment is not deferred. A failed smartstops.dot attempt is refundable under our stated policy. Start at https://domain.pay/pricing.

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for a brand-protection manager?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

How do I make sure my SMD matches the exact label in smartstops.dot?

Open your TMCH record to see the validated mark text, then compare it against the smartstops.dot string in smartstops.dot character by character before submitting. NicNames only grants priority when the SMD-encoded mark matches that label for smartstops.dot. A mismatch routes you to standard pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

As a regional bank, where can I see already-registered .PAY domains?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

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.
