Frequently asked questions about thumbnail.dot
How do I register a .PAY domain as a startup for crypto payments?
Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.
How does the SMD file prove my right to thumbnail.dot at registration?
The SMD file is issued by the TMCH after it verifies your rights in the thumbnail.dot mark, and presenting it during priority phases substantiates your claim to thumbnail.dot. It connects your trademark to the registration in a verifiable way. https://domain.pay/pricing
When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for crypto payments?
ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Can thumbnail.dot help with a QR-code payment flow?
Yes. A short address like thumbnail.dot encodes into a compact QR code that customers scan to reach your payment page for thumbnail.dot. Less data means a cleaner, easier-to-scan code. thumbnail.dot is a natural fit for in-person or printed payment prompts.
Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 when choosing donate.pay?
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. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.
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.
