Frequently asked questions about scissor.dot

How can a brand reduce confusion around payment pages for in-app purchases?

.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.

Is a TMCH SMD file required to pre-order scissor.dot?

No — a standard $100 pre-order for scissor.dot doesn't require an SMD file. You only need a TMCH SMD if you want trademark priority on scissor.dot ahead of general applicants. Choose the right path for scissor.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

As a checkout product manager, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

How competitive is the launch for a name like scissor.dot?

Short, payment-relevant labels such as scissor.dot can be competitive at launch because many buyers want them. Pre-ordering early and using the correct phase improves your standing for scissor.dot. domain.pay helps you compete at https://domain.pay/register.

As a regional bank, can I pay for a .PAY pre-order by card, wire or crypto?

domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.

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.
