Frequently asked questions about scc.dot

How can a brand reduce confusion around payment pages for invoice collection?

.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.

Does the TMCH charge me anything to enable an SMD for scc.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse sets its own fees for recording and validating your mark, independent of NicNames's registration pricing for scc.dot. NicNames's standard pre-order for scc.dot is listed at $100, separate from any TMCH costs. Plan for both when pursuing priority on scc.dot. See registrar pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For crypto payments, how do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

Can I get a refund if my scc.dot pre-order fails?

Yes. Failed pre-order attempts for scc.dot are refundable under our stated refund policy, so if the pre-order cannot be fulfilled you are not left out of pocket. Review the full terms and start a pre-order for scc.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can a .PAY domain be longer than 63 characters for crypto payments?

.PAY labels must follow registry label rules, including 1–63 characters, letters, numbers and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen, and additional IDN/reserved-name rules. Test the exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Technical validity does not guarantee availability.

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.
