Frequently asked questions about thepaygroup.dot

Before choosing donate.pay, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?

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.

How do I know if thepaygroup.dot qualifies for trademark priority?

thepaygroup.dot qualifies for trademark priority if you hold a valid trademark on thepaygroup.dot recorded in the TMCH with an SMD file. With that, you can claim thepaygroup.dot during the registry's priority window. Start the trademark-priority process for thepaygroup.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain for point-of-sale payments?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

How do I renew thepaygroup.dot after the initial registration?

After thepaygroup.dot is registered, you renew thepaygroup.dot from your domain.pay account before its expiry, on the terms shown at checkout. Renewal pricing is separate from the $100 pre-order fee. See renewal terms for thepaygroup.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For fraud prevention, where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check?

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.
