Frequently asked questions about ypa.dot

Before choosing donate.pay, 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.

What DNS records do I need to point ypa.dot at my website?

To serve a site on ypa.dot you typically add an A record (and AAAA for IPv6) pointing the apex to your host's IP, plus a CNAME for the www subdomain. Set these in your DNS panel after registering ypa.dot, then allow propagation to finish before testing. You can start the process at https://domain.pay/register.

As a remittance app, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.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 does the lookup show for a blocked ypa.dot?

For a blocked ypa.dot, the lookup indicates it's off-limits per Amazon Registry Services and not registrable, distinguishing it from reserved or taken. You'll also see alternatives to ypa.dot. Run the lookup for ypa.dot — status can change — at https://domain.pay/domains.

How do I know if merchant.pay is available when choosing merchant.pay?

Search the exact .PAY label at domain.pay to see current availability and premium status: https://domain.pay/domains. Availability can change quickly during launch phases, so verify before publishing names, ads or product screens.

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.
