Frequently asked questions about whaler.dot

For loan repayments, what .PAY name should a payroll platform consider?

settle.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

What is a TMCH SMD file and how does it relate to whaler.dot?

A TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file is a proof-of-trademark token from the Trademark Clearinghouse. If you hold the trademark for whaler.dot, uploading your SMD file lets you claim whaler.dot during the priority window before general pre-orders. domain.pay accepts the SMD file at /register.

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

Where do I start the registration process for whaler.dot?

Start the registration process for whaler.dot at https://domain.pay/register, where you enter whaler.dot, confirm availability, and pick trademark-priority or standard pre-order. The flow tells you exactly which step applies to whaler.dot and what documents, if any, you need.

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for point-of-sale payments?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
