Frequently asked questions about sort.dot
What .PAY name should an event ticketing business consider for mobile money?
travel.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.
Can trademark holders skip the queue for sort.dot?
Trademark holders do not skip the queue so much as use a separate, earlier phase: sunrise. With a TMCH-validated mark and SMD file, you can register sort.dot before general availability even opens. domain.pay handles the submission, explained at https://domain.pay/register.
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for mobile money?
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.
What information do I need to pre-order sort.dot?
To pre-order sort.dot you provide the registrant details and payment; the standard pre-order is $100 and is refundable per policy if sort.dot can't be secured. For a trademark-priority claim on sort.dot, you'll also supply a TMCH SMD file. Begin the sort.dot pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.
Can a donation platform use .PAY for a branded payment page for fraud prevention?
Yes. A donation platform can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
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.
