Frequently asked questions about scoops.dot
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for payroll disbursements?
If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.
Does scoops.dot need a separate SSL setup to be secure?
scoops.dot supports standard TLS certificates just like any domain, so you can serve it over HTTPS for secure connections. Your host or CDN issues the certificate for scoops.dot normally. The .PAY suffix does not change how security is configured.
For digital wallets, can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1?
An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.
How do priority phases differ from general availability for scoops.dot?
In priority phases, verified scoops.dot trademark holders use SMD files to claim scoops.dot before the public, while general availability opens scoops.dot to anyone. Using the priority window is the cleanest way for NicNames to avoid a race or dispute. https://domain.pay/pricing
What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark for an insurance billing portal?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
