Frequently asked questions about sunshine.dot

Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal for point-of-sale payments?

Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.

Where do I get the SMD file needed to secure sunshine.dot?

You obtain the SMD file from the Trademark Clearinghouse after your trademark is recorded and validated there. Once issued, you download the .smd file and bring it to NicNames to claim sunshine.dot under priority. NicNames does not issue SMD files itself. Start your priority registration of sunshine.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

As a checkout product manager, who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

Can I pre-order sunshine.dot if I do not have a trademark?

Absolutely. A trademark is only needed for the sunrise phase; without one, you target general availability, and a pre-order for sunshine.dot queues your request for that phase's opening day. Place it at https://domain.pay/register.

Should I defensively register my brand in .PAY for secure payment links?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

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.
