Frequently asked questions about softproof.dot

For point-of-sale payments, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

What does the standard pre-order get me for softproof.dot?

The standard $100 pre-order places your request for softproof.dot in line through domain.pay, and if the attempt fails it is refundable. It is the path to claim softproof.dot as a .PAY name when it becomes available. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

Can Amazon Registry reserve or block some .PAY names for point-of-sale payments?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

What evidence does the TMCH need before issuing the SMD I use for softproof.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 softproof.dot. Only after that validation is the SMD available. NicNames then accepts that file for priority on softproof.dot. Prepare your evidence, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

As an insurance billing portal, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
