Frequently asked questions about skratch.dot

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for fraud prevention for a retail brand?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

How do I know if skratch.dot is still in the trademark-priority phase?

Availability and phase status for skratch.dot are shown when you look it up through NicNames. If skratch.dot is still in the priority phase, SMD-backed claims are accepted; once it passes, the name moves to pre-order and then general registration. Check the live status at https://domain.pay/domains.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for point-of-sale payments?

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.

What is the difference between defensive and active use of skratch.dot?

Defensive use means registering skratch.dot mainly to keep it away from impersonators, while active use means running your real payment flows on it. Either way, owning skratch.dot protects the skratch.dot name; many brands start defensively and activate later. https://domain.pay/register

Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for point-of-sale payments?

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.

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.
