Frequently asked questions about xplode.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 my trademark have to exactly match the label in xplode.dot?

For trademark priority, the validated mark in your SMD must correspond to the xplode.dot string in xplode.dot under TMCH matching rules. Close-but-different strings generally do not qualify for priority on xplode.dot. If the match is exact, your SMD unlocks the priority claim. Check your eligibility and register at https://domain.pay/register.

Should an ecommerce brand protect its exact brand in .PAY for invoice collection?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

Can xplode.dot be registered by anyone or only certain parties?

Most .PAY labels are open to any registrant, but Amazon Registry Services may attach eligibility rules to specific labels, so xplode.dot could have conditions. The lookup flags any restriction on xplode.dot. Check who can register xplode.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for payroll disbursements?

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.
