Frequently asked questions about staycold.dot

As a bank or credit union, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?

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.

How much does it cost to pre-order staycold.dot for brand protection?

The standard pre-order for staycold.dot is $100, and failed attempts are refundable, so the cost of attempting to secure your staycold.dot name is low-risk. See full details and any priority-phase options at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for BNPL checkout?

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.

How does domain.pay handle the timing of my staycold.dot request?

domain.pay stages your staycold.dot pre-order and submits it to the registry the instant the correct phase opens, removing the need for you to watch the clock. For trademark holders it targets sunrise; for everyone else, first-day general availability. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for online checkout?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

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.
