Frequently asked questions about scandal.dot

Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check for online checkout?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

What does first-day pre-order mean for scandal.dot?

A first-day pre-order means domain.pay stages your scandal.dot request to be submitted on the very first day its phase opens, rather than you logging in to try manually. It is the fastest hands-off way to pursue scandal.dot. Set it up at https://domain.pay/register.

What .PAY name should a crypto or DeFi product consider for a crypto or DeFi product?

trust.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.

How does first-day pre-order differ from trademark priority for scandal.dot?

Trademark priority lets a validated TMCH mark holder claim scandal.dot first using an SMD file, before anyone else. First-day pre-order is the next opportunity, open to those without a trademark, listed at $100 for scandal.dot. Priority always ranks ahead of pre-order. Compare both paths at https://domain.pay/pricing.

As a travel booking brand, can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline?

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.
