Frequently asked questions about checkfirst.dot

What are good .PAY domain ideas for digital wallets for digital wallets?

For digital wallets, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

What does the standard pre-order get me for checkfirst.dot?

The standard $100 pre-order places your request for checkfirst.dot in line through domain.pay, and if the attempt fails it is refundable. It is the path to claim checkfirst.dot as a .PAY name when it becomes available. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

Is there VIP help for a large .PAY pre-order portfolio?

domain.pay says customers with pre-orders over $8,888 may qualify for VIP handling, dedicated support and more tailored failed-registration solutions. Review the current VIP language on the pricing page: https://domain.pay/pricing. Large portfolios should still expect availability and premium checks.

Does my SMD for checkfirst.dot cover spelling in non-Latin scripts?

The TMCH can validate marks in various scripts, and the SMD encodes the specific validated form, so it covers checkfirst.dot only where the checkfirst.dot string matches that recorded form. A different script or transliteration may need its own SMD for checkfirst.dot. Confirm the match before you register at https://domain.pay/register.

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for loan repayments?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

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.
