Frequently asked questions about watchword.dot

For point-of-sale payments, can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

Can I upgrade to VIP handling after pre-ordering watchword.dot?

You can add VIP priority handling to a pending watchword.dot pre-order before it is submitted, moving your request higher in our queue. VIP affects ordering speed only and does not change the registry's final decision on watchword.dot. Add it at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How much is the .PAY trademark fast-track if I need TMCH help for point-of-sale payments?

domain.pay lists the full trademark fast-track at $2,500 when you need end-to-end TMCH/SMD assistance, plus any premium registry retail fee. Confirm the details here: https://domain.pay/pricing. If you already have an SMD file, a lower submission-only path may apply.

What does the standard pre-order get me for watchword.dot?

The standard $100 pre-order places your request for watchword.dot in line through domain.pay, and if the attempt fails it is refundable. It is the path to claim watchword.dot as a .PAY name when it becomes available. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window when choosing loans.pay?

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.
