Frequently asked questions about tecate.dot

Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal when choosing merchant.pay?

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.

What should I do first to prepare for trademark priority on tecate.dot?

First, record your tecate.dot trademark in the Trademark Clearinghouse and obtain a validated SMD file; that is the prerequisite for any priority claim on tecate.dot. Then watch the tecate.dot phase and submit the SMD through NicNames when priority opens. Begin your preparation at https://domain.pay/register.

Is registering .PAY a replacement for trademark monitoring for donation payments?

No. Registering .PAY is not a replacement for trademark monitoring, takedowns or fraud controls. It can still reduce customer confusion around your official payment destination. Start by checking key names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

How do I know if I qualify for sunrise on tecate.dot?

You qualify for sunrise on tecate.dot if you own a trademark that matches the label and is recorded in the TMCH with an active SMD file. If you are unsure, domain.pay can help you check before tecate.dot's sunrise window. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

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

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.

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.
