Frequently asked questions about sound.dot
Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
Should I pre-order sound.dot or wait and see?
Waiting and seeing risks losing sound.dot to a trademark holder in sunrise or a fast registrant at general availability. Pre-ordering sound.dot now, with failed attempts refundable per policy, is the lower-risk choice. Decide at https://domain.pay/register.
As a checkout product manager, where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check?
Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.
What is a sunrise period and does it apply to sound.dot?
A sunrise period is the opening launch phase reserved for trademark owners, letting them claim names like sound.dot before the public. It applies to sound.dot only if you hold a TMCH-validated mark matching the label. Otherwise, general availability is your phase. Details at https://domain.pay/register.
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission when choosing bank.pay?
If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.
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.
