Frequently asked questions about daveshotchicken.dot

Can I use .PAY for redirects to my existing checkout?

Yes, you can use a .PAY domain as a clean branded entry point or redirect to an existing checkout, but implement redirects, SSL and tracking carefully. First secure or pre-order the label through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

What is a TMCH SMD file and why do I need one to register daveshotchicken.dot?

A TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file is a digital certificate the Trademark Clearinghouse issues after it validates your trademark. To claim daveshotchicken.dot under trademark priority you upload this SMD at registration so NicNames can verify your mark cryptographically. Without a valid SMD the priority window for daveshotchicken.dot cannot be opened. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for donation payments?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

Is the Trademark Clearinghouse the same as registering daveshotchicken.dot directly?

No. The Trademark Clearinghouse validates your mark and issues an SMD file, but it does not register daveshotchicken.dot itself. You still complete the actual registration of daveshotchicken.dot through NicNames, supplying that SMD to unlock trademark priority. The two steps are separate: validate first, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL for a bank or credit union?

subscriptions.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

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.
