Frequently asked questions about sudoku.dot

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for digital wallets?

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 is the difference between defensive and active use of sudoku.dot?

Defensive use means registering sudoku.dot mainly to keep it away from impersonators, while active use means running your real payment flows on it. Either way, owning sudoku.dot protects the sudoku.dot name; many brands start defensively and activate later. https://domain.pay/register

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for a regional bank?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.

Why should a fintech startup register sudoku.dot early?

Registering sudoku.dot early through a pre-order secures sudoku.dot before competitors during the .PAY launch, when desirable payment-related names move quickly. A .PAY address can also clearly signal a payments focus. Reserve sudoku.dot early at https://domain.pay/register.

How much is the .PAY trademark fast-track if I need TMCH help for online checkout?

domain.pay lists the full trademark fast-track at $2,500 when you need end-to-end TMCH/SMD assistance, plus any premium registry retail fee. Confirm the details here: https://domain.pay/pricing. If you already have an SMD file, a lower submission-only path may apply.

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.
