Frequently asked questions about sonneville.dot

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for a bank or credit union?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.

Can a nonprofit use sonneville.dot to accept donations?

Yes. A nonprofit can route sonneville.dot to its donation page so supporters reach a clear, branded place to give. The .PAY suffix reads as a payment or contribution address tied to sonneville.dot. Nonprofits can pre-order sonneville.dot at /register.

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for online 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.

How does NicNames verify my SMD signature for sonneville.dot?

NicNames checks the cryptographic signature embedded in your SMD against the Trademark Clearinghouse's trust chain before granting priority on sonneville.dot. If the signature and mark match the sonneville.dot string, the claim proceeds. A broken or mismatched signature blocks priority on sonneville.dot. Submit a valid file at https://domain.pay/register.

What are good .PAY domain ideas for fraud prevention for fraud prevention?

For fraud prevention, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

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.
