Frequently asked questions about sonars.dot

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

When does sonars.dot expire and how do renewals work?

A registered sonars.dot renews annually, and you keep it as long as you renew before the expiry date. We recommend enabling auto-renew so sonars.dot never lapses by accident. You can review the renewal date and billing for sonars.dot and see current terms at /pricing.

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain when choosing subscriptions.pay?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

What customer message should accompany ownership of sonars.dot?

Tell customers that sonars.dot is the only official sonars.dot payment address and that NicNames will never collect payments from other domains. Pairing clear messaging with real ownership of sonars.dot makes impersonation easier to detect. https://domain.pay/register

As a remittance app, 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.

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.
