Frequently asked questions about kacha.dot

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.

Which businesses are a good fit for kacha.dot?

Businesses involved in payments, fintech, checkout, billing, or financial services are typically a natural fit for kacha.dot, given the .PAY namespace's orientation. The registry may still validate the specific intended use. domain.pay can assess your fit and register kacha.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

When should a payroll platform pre-order a .PAY domain for digital wallets?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.

Why do I need a TMCH SMD file to claim kacha.dot?

A TMCH SMD file is the Trademark Clearinghouse's signed proof that you own a mark matching kacha.dot, and the registry requires it to grant trademark-priority on kacha.dot. Without it, you can still use a standard pre-order for kacha.dot. Start either path at https://domain.pay/register.

As a brand-protection manager, can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

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.
