I've been scouring various threads over the last few hours looking for an answer to this question but haven't had any luck.
It seems most people are assuming that the sacred servant paladin archetype gains the domain of choice's granted power but I see no official Paizo wording that states that. This is for PFS so I want to make sure I have this right before taking that Archetype.
So, if I take this Archetype and I were to take the travel domain, would I get the following automatically? Also, at what level would I get it at? 4?
"You are an explorer and find enlightenment in the simple joy of travel, be it by foot or conveyance or magic. Increase your base speed by 10 feet." If the answer is yes, am I to assume this would stack with Longstrider?
Also, for the secondary power, in this case, Dimensional Hop, would I be able to use it at level 9 if I have the magical knack trait?
What about the wisdom requirement for uses per day for the domain powers? Do you change it to charisma since it's for a Paladin?
Thanks!

Greetings! I have a Sacred Servant (Travel Domain) Paladin in PFS as well (this profile). I'll try my best to answer your questions:

You probably haven't found any threads discussing it because there's no ambiguity. "[W]hen a sacred servant gains the ability to cast spells, she also chooses one domain associated with her deity".
From the Cleric class writeup we find rules for domains. "Each domain grants a number of domain powers, dependent upon the level of the cleric".
Both Agile Feet (Su) and the increase to base speed are domain powers granted to you by choosing the Travel domain.
It's a pretty sweet deal for a Paladin, which is why it's so popular.
So, if I take this Archetype and I were to take the travel domain, would I get the following automatically? Also, at what level would I get it at? 4?
As the ability states, you gain the domain at 4th level.
If the answer is yes, am I to assume this would stack with Longstrider?
It functions the exact same for both Clerics and Paladins, so yes.
Also, for the secondary power, in this case, Dimensional Hop, would I be able to use it at level 9 if I have the magical knack trait?
For purposes of determining when you gain access to higher level domain powers, treat your effective Cleric level as your Paladin level minus 3. Magical Knack only raises Caster Level, not Class Level, so you won't be gaining access to any domain powers earlier.
What about the wisdom requirement for uses per day for the domain powers? Do you change it to charisma since it's for a Paladin?
It remains Wis-based, as we are given no rules for switching it out to Cha-based. It's one of the many reasons why dumping Wisdom won't work so well for this build (I started with a Wis of 12 for this very reason).
Hope that helps!
