Frequently asked questions about xerxes.dot

During the .PAY launch, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?

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.

Does Amazon set the price I pay for xerxes.dot?

Amazon Registry Services, the .PAY operator, sets the underlying tier for xerxes.dot: the $100 standard rate or a higher premium fee for xerxes.dot. We display that registry price plus any optional services. Confirm the registry-driven price for xerxes.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for an ecommerce brand?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

What proof do I need for trademark-priority pricing on xerxes.dot?

For trademark-priority handling of xerxes.dot you must supply a valid TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file matching xerxes.dot, issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse. Without it, you proceed under standard general-availability pricing for xerxes.dot. Begin the priority flow at https://domain.pay/register.

As a travel booking brand, can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: 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.
