Frequently asked questions about transporting.dot

For BNPL checkout, what does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

Which comes first for transporting.dot: validating my mark or paying NicNames?

Validating your mark in the TMCH and obtaining the SMD comes first, because without it NicNames cannot grant trademark priority on transporting.dot. Only after you have a valid SMD do you complete the priority registration of transporting.dot. The standard pre-order alternative is listed at $100. Start the right path at https://domain.pay/pricing.

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.

Is trademark ownership required to register transporting.dot?

Trademark ownership is not required to register transporting.dot, but if you hold a registered mark you may qualify for trademark-priority registration through TMCH using your SMD file. This can help you secure transporting.dot ahead of general availability. domain.pay supports this at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission when choosing bank.pay?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY 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.
