Frequently asked questions about smil.dot

Can I pay for a .PAY pre-order by card, wire or crypto 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.

Should brand owners act before general availability for smil.dot?

Yes. Brand owners with a matching trademark should use the earlier sunrise phase to claim smil.dot before the public can, reducing the risk of someone else taking it at general availability. domain.pay submits smil.dot during sunrise, detailed at https://domain.pay/register.

For crypto payments, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

How long does TMCH validation take before I can register smil.dot?

TMCH validation timing depends on the Clearinghouse, not on NicNames, so begin the process well before you intend to claim smil.dot. Only after validation completes do you receive the SMD file needed for priority on smil.dot. Plan ahead so your SMD is ready when the priority phase opens. Prepare your registration at https://domain.pay/register.

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for BNPL checkout?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

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.
