Frequently asked questions about scope.dot

Where can I generate .PAY ideas for digital wallets?

For digital wallets, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

How much does it cost to pre-order an alternative to scope.dot?

Pre-ordering an alternative to scope.dot costs the standard $100 per name on domain.pay, and a failed attempt is refundable. That flat pricing makes it easy to pursue several scope.dot candidates at once. See pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can a donation platform use .PAY for a branded payment page for a donation platform?

Yes. A donation platform can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

What happens to my DNS records when scope.dot expires?

Once scope.dot expires and leaves the grace period, the registry may stop publishing your nameservers, so scope.dot stops resolving and any site or email goes dark. Restoring scope.dot during redemption brings it back, but you should re-verify records afterward. Renew scope.dot on time to keep DNS live.

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for point-of-sale payments?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.

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.
