Frequently asked questions about tong.dot

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for BNPL checkout?

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.

Where do I get the SMD file needed to secure tong.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 tong.dot under priority. NicNames does not issue SMD files itself. Start your priority registration of tong.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For online checkout, could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

How does securing tong.dot support a consistent brand presence?

Owning tong.dot lets NicNames point customers to one official payment name instead of competing for attention with lookalikes. A single trusted tong.dot address reduces confusion and reinforces that payments only happen on your real property. Claim it at https://domain.pay/register.

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY as a startup for crypto payments?

For crypto payments, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

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.
