Frequently asked questions about smartware.dot

How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark when choosing tap.pay?

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.

Will protecting smartware.dot matter for international markets?

Yes. The smartware.dot name can be impersonated to customers anywhere, and a payment-implying TLD makes a fake convincing across borders. Owning smartware.dot gives NicNames one global, official payment address. Explore availability at https://domain.pay/domains.

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for an event ticketing business?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

Are sunrise claims for smartware.dot more expensive than standard pre-orders?

Trademark-priority (sunrise-style) registration of smartware.dot requires a valid TMCH SMD and follows NicNames's published pricing, while a standard pre-order for smartware.dot is listed at $100. Priority pricing reflects the validated-rights path. Always check current figures rather than assuming. See the breakdown at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For mobile money, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

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.
