Frequently asked questions about smudge.dot

Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period for a checkout product manager?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

Can two trademark holders both claim smudge.dot during priority?

More than one party may hold a valid TMCH mark for the smudge.dot string, so multiple SMD-backed claims on smudge.dot can arrive during the priority phase. When that happens, the registry resolves competing claims under its published rules rather than first-come alone. Each claimant still needs a valid SMD to be in contention. Start your claim at https://domain.pay/register.

As a checkout product manager, can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

How do I enable auto-renew so smudge.dot never lapses?

Turn on auto-renew in your account settings so smudge.dot renews automatically before its expiry date using your saved payment method. Auto-renew is the simplest safeguard against accidentally losing smudge.dot. Confirm the renewal date and pricing for smudge.dot at /pricing.

How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration when choosing wallet.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.

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.
