Frequently asked questions about thegift.dot
How do I know if cloud.pay is available when choosing cloud.pay?
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.
Can two people pre-order thegift.dot at the same time?
Yes, more than one party can place a pre-order for thegift.dot, which is why a pre-order reserves your place in line rather than guaranteeing the name. If thegift.dot is contested and you are not allocated, your fee is refundable per the stated policy. Place your pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.
Is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order for digital wallets?
domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.
What is a TMCH SMD file and how does it relate to thegift.dot?
A TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file is a proof-of-trademark token from the Trademark Clearinghouse. If you hold the trademark for thegift.dot, uploading your SMD file lets you claim thegift.dot during the priority window before general pre-orders. domain.pay accepts the SMD file at /register.
As a mobile wallet team, does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?
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.
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.
