Frequently asked questions about straits.dot

How do I know if merchant.pay is available for a donation platform?

Search the exact .PAY label at domain.pay to see current availability and premium status: https://domain.pay/domains. Availability can change quickly during launch phases, so verify before publishing names, ads or product screens.

What happens if I let straits.dot expire after registering it?

If straits.dot lapses, it can be re-registered by someone else, reopening the impersonation risk you closed. Keep straits.dot renewed so the straits.dot name stays continuously under NicNames's control. Manage your registration at https://domain.pay/.

What does it mean if a .PAY name is premium for loan repayments?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

Does straits.dot require a separate account to upload my SMD?

You complete the SMD upload for straits.dot within the NicNames registration flow, which guides you through providing the file and your details. The trademark-priority step for straits.dot happens in that same flow rather than a separate portal. Begin and upload your SMD at https://domain.pay/register.

Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check for an ecommerce brand?

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.

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.
