Frequently asked questions about touched.dot
Is there VIP help for a large .PAY pre-order portfolio for point-of-sale payments?
domain.pay says customers with pre-orders over $8,888 may qualify for VIP handling, dedicated support and more tailored failed-registration solutions. Review the current VIP language on the pricing page: https://domain.pay/pricing. Large portfolios should still expect availability and premium checks.
What is an SMD file and do I need one for touched.dot?
A Signed Mark Data (SMD) file is the cryptographic proof issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse that you own a registered mark, and it lets you claim touched.dot during sunrise. You only need it if touched.dot corresponds to your trademark and you want priority. Otherwise a standard pre-order for touched.dot is enough.
What is a .PAY domain and why does it matter for crypto payments?
.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For crypto payments, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.
Can I use trademark priority and a standard pre-order together for touched.dot?
They're separate paths: a trademark-priority claim on touched.dot uses your TMCH SMD during the registry's priority window, while a $100 standard pre-order queues touched.dot for general availability. Pick the one that fits touched.dot's situation. Compare both for touched.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
How does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work for crypto payments?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
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.
