Frequently asked questions about scratchpay.dot

Is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order for a payroll platform?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

How should robots.txt be configured for scratchpay.dot?

Place a robots.txt at the root of scratchpay.dot that allows crawling of public pages, disallows admin or duplicate paths, and points to your sitemap. Be careful not to accidentally block all of scratchpay.dot with a stray Disallow: /. Test the file in Search Console after deploying.

Are short .PAY names always available for a fintech founder?

Short .PAY names are attractive but can be registered, premium, reserved or blocked. Do not assume availability from length alone. Search at domain.pay and verify before building a campaign: https://domain.pay/domains.

Will operating scratchpay.dot make me a regulated entity?

Simply holding scratchpay.dot does not make you a regulated financial entity; regulation typically depends on the actual payment activities you conduct and your jurisdiction's law. The .PAY registry validates use but does not license you. domain.pay can clarify expectations at https://domain.pay/register.

For BNPL checkout, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

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.
