Frequently asked questions about sme.dot

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for mobile money?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

What evidence does the TMCH need before issuing the SMD I use for sme.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse requires proof of a registered, valid trademark and may request a sample of use before issuing the SMD you use for sme.dot. Only after that validation is the SMD available. NicNames then accepts that file for priority on sme.dot. Prepare your evidence, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

What is the quickest path to secure a .PAY domain for a crypto or DeFi product when choosing instant.pay?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

Can I learn more about .PAY before I commit to sme.dot?

Yes. You can read about the .PAY namespace, operated by Amazon Registry Services, and explore available names before committing to sme.dot at https://domain.pay/. When you are ready to reserve sme.dot, start your pre-order or priority request at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for crypto payments?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY 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.
