Who operates the .PAY extension, and where can a checkout product manager get one?
Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A checkout product manager can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.
What is an SMD file and do I need one for traced.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 traced.dot during sunrise. You only need it if traced.dot corresponds to your trademark and you want priority. Otherwise a standard pre-order for traced.dot is enough.
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for payroll disbursements?
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.
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.
