Frequently asked questions about areli.pay

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for loan repayments for a retail brand?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

Does domain.pay reserve areli.pay on its own?

No — reservations on areli.pay come from the registry, Amazon Registry Services, not from domain.pay. We display the registry's classification and let you pre-order or register areli when it's open. Check the registry status of areli.pay at https://domain.pay/domains.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for mobile money?

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.

How do I migrate an existing site onto areli.pay without downtime?

Stand up the new site on areli.pay at a low TTL, validate it on a staging hostname, then flip DNS and 301 every old URL to its match on areli.pay. Submit a change of address in Search Console and keep the old certificate valid through the cutover. Monitor areli.pay for crawl errors afterward.

Could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app when choosing trust.pay?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

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.
