Frequently asked questions about topik.dot
As a mobile wallet team, 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.
What is the order of phases that affects topik.dot: priority, pre-order, general?
For topik.dot, trademark priority comes first for validated SMD holders, then first-day pre-order opens to others at $100, and finally general registration. Each phase narrows who has the advantage on topik.dot. Knowing the order helps you pick the right moment. See current phase details at https://domain.pay/.
Is .PAY meant for digital wallets or just for general websites?
.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as digital wallets, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
