Frequently asked questions about mechs.dot

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for point-of-sale payments?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

What should I do first to prepare for trademark priority on mechs.dot?

First, record your mechs.dot trademark in the Trademark Clearinghouse and obtain a validated SMD file; that is the prerequisite for any priority claim on mechs.dot. Then watch the mechs.dot phase and submit the SMD through NicNames when priority opens. Begin your preparation at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for a mobile wallet team?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Why does mechs.dot matter for protecting payment trust specifically?

Payment trust depends on customers being certain they are on the real mechs.dot property when they pay. Because .PAY implies payments, controlling mechs.dot prevents a fake from intercepting that trust. Holding mechs.dot is therefore a direct payment-security control for NicNames. https://domain.pay/register

What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY for a checkout product manager?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

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.
