Frequently asked questions about refines.dot
For fraud prevention, how can a marketplace use a .PAY domain?
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.
Are nonprofits a good use case for refines.dot?
Donation flows benefit from clarity, and refines.dot reads as the place to give. A .PAY address on flyers and appeals signals a secure giving page and shortens the path from intent to donation. Nonprofits can reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.
How can a brand reduce confusion around payment pages 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.
Can a trademark holder claim refines.dot before others?
Yes — with a valid TMCH SMD file proving a trademark on refines.dot, you can register refines.dot during the registry's trademark-priority phase before standard applicants. domain.pay offers this priority path. Begin the trademark claim for refines.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for an insurance billing portal?
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.
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.
