Frequently asked questions about novusnews.pay

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

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.

Can I use novusnews.pay for API endpoints and webhooks?

Yes. Dedicate a subdomain such as api.novusnews.pay with its own DNS record and SSL, and serve your endpoints there. Using novusnews.pay for APIs keeps a clean, branded base URL for integrations and webhook callbacks. Secure it with HTTPS and proper auth.

What characters are allowed in a .PAY domain?

.PAY labels must follow registry label rules, including 1–63 characters, letters, numbers and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen, and additional IDN/reserved-name rules. Test the exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Technical validity does not guarantee availability.

Where do I get the SMD file needed to secure novusnews.pay?

You obtain the SMD file from the Trademark Clearinghouse after your trademark is recorded and validated there. Once issued, you download the .smd file and bring it to NicNames to claim novusnews.pay under priority. NicNames does not issue SMD files itself. Start your priority registration of novusnews.pay at https://domain.pay/register.

For point-of-sale payments, can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

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.
