Help us test the new Efty.

Doron Vermaat · May 21, 2018

It’s been more than four years since @lionel_efty and I set out on a mission to change the way domain name investors manage, market and monetize their portfolio’s. And what a ride it has been!

After a private beta with a small group of users, we decided to turn to NamePros.com in December 2014 to announce our public beta and with an open invite for anyone to sign-up and provide feedback. And feedback we got. A lot. In fact, the feedback has never stopped and it is safe to say that it is thanks to the community here that Efty transformed from our humble vision of a domain portfolio management tool into the full-fledged sales platform it is today and that we’re continuing to build for you.

Pretty much all of the new features we shipped over the past few years were build on top of the original framework that we developed for Efty back in 2014 which resulted in a somewhat bloated application that isn’t always as fast and bug-free as we like it to be and frankly, has started to look a bit tired.

That’s why we set out to completely revamp the application, streamline the menus, simplify navigation and build a responsive layout for all devices and operating systems. The result is a platform with a strong emphasis on helping you make more money, by driving more sales and better reporting.

We think it’s turning out awesome but we need some unsalted feedback before we flip the switch and roll it out to our entire userbase.

And what better place to turn for feedback than here on NamePros? The very same place we announced the first version of our platform

The new Efty is not just old wine in new bottles. We already incorporated a lot of feedback and delivered on a lot of the popular request posted by members in the many Efty threads on the forum.

With the new Efty, you can:

Create custom categories for your marketplace (yay!)
Rearrange the order of premium domains on your homepage
Remove the Make Offer form from the marketplace (for your BIN domains)
Get in-app notifications for new inquiries and transactions.
Turn on/of logos in your marketplace or For-Sale landing pages.
Show listings on your marketplace in chronological or alphabetical order.
Activate two-factor authentication for added security
Quickly see which of your domain names are under review.
Add a Privacy Policy page and place Active Consent checkboxes on your Make Offer forms.

To help us test drive the #NewEfty you sign into your Efty account via https://app.efty.com/login/

Thanks for your replies Doron. Doing some adjustments today and noticed the nameservers, expiry dates don't auto update? I thought they did before.

They never did unfortunately but there's a way to update them manually:

I was just at a lander, I use redirect to eftymaket.com setting for ssl purposes and when I click the arrow at bottom of right to go to top of page, it takes me to this page https://eftymarket.com/#top

Also I have added a custom background to several landers, when I add the url to face or linkedin, the background image shows as the thumbnail image. Maybe facebook doesn't pick up on your images you use for background sometimes is why they randomly appear or don't

Is it possible to add a background image in bulk?

Google analytics are right on the money

Just curious for those using efty and Escrow.com

Which one do you choose: Escrow.com or Escrow Pay?

I tried both, the Escrow.com is a simpler form, Escrow Pay seems to explain it more.

We’ve had a integration with Escrow.com already for years but the old set-up wasn’t great mainly because the buyer had to fill out a form on Efty and then they would receive an email from Escrow.com prompting them to sign up and complete the transaction.

The new set-up with Escrow Pay removes friction from the escrow process because buyers are now redirected to a wizard on Escrow.com where they can complete an escrow transaction in a few easy steps right away.

See https://blog.efty.com/2018/11/27/es...ore-simple-integration-of-escrow-com-in-efty/

This means no more (or a lot less), transactions that are initiated but never completed and we also expect a higher closing rate for impulse buys such as domains priced in the $2,000 range because a buyer that clicks the BIN button now is taken to a wizard now where they can sign in and pay for the domain with credit card or PayPal right away without leaving the site and NO buyer verification up to $3,000.

So our advice, use Escrow Pay. We will most likely kill off the old integration soon.

Doron, I mentioned 7 weeks ago, 3 posts up, that when I, and others like @DomainBarracksRob whose domain I used to verify stuff, has the theme with arrow at the bottom of the page, linking to the wrong url.
This happens since i want ssl and use redirect to eftymarket.com for landers.
https://eftymarket.com/domainname AND use any of the category specific themes, the arrow at the bottom of the page goes to https://eftymarket.com/#top when it should be redirecting to https://eftymarket.com/ddddomain.com/#top (url missing in arrows)
So it should go to the top of the page, and not to eftymarket.com losing potential customer
Can you fix the broken link on all those pages? Some code maybe?

@DomainBarracksRob go visit your solarc********s.com name, scroll down and click on the arrow at the bottom of your landing page, which is supposed to take you to the top of your page. It doesn't
Anyone has landers redirecting to eftymarket.com/ has this issue if using category specific themes

The link arrow on UDRP and INDRP does include url and goes to top of respective page, so those themes are working correctly.

Another broken thing. Domains dashboard, the search domains at top of page is broke
type anything in, and click the search icon or hit enter, it goes back to control panel. app.efty.com
I fingered this out as i typed 420 into the search bar and clicked enter or search icon nothing happens.
Hoping to see list of names containing 420 show on the page
Even inputting an exact domain in " search domains" and hitting enter or clicking search icon symbol just goes back to app.efty.com

I'll save the stuff about how i want/need a customizable background theme just like Samir with Contact Us, as I have visions others don't see.

Few other tweeks too, save that for another time

Hey thanks @MasterOfMyDomains you are correct ! I never noticed this but yes , I checked my domain you mentioned on my Mobile Version , and when I click the UP arrow at the bottom on the page on the right corn, it goes to a different Efty homepage with Top Premium names for sale (not my page ) ...I wonder if this is due to us not paying for the Premium Efty ?? I’m still using my basic version .....thanks for bringing this to my attention

MasterOfMyDomains · Dec 9, 2018

All my efty landers eftymarket.com/domain dont seem to be resolving
Anyone else?

Says connection timed out

MasterOfMyDomains · Dec 9, 2018

Working slow now.

The arrow works properly on certain themes, nothing to do with membership.
They need to fix some code.

Doron Vermaat · Dec 10, 2018

There was indeed an issue on our end earlier which affected load times which has since been resolved. Unfortunately, I was on an international flight without wifi access so it took a couple of hours before I could alarm our tech team.

Everything is up and running smoothly again, we're very sorry for any inconvenience caused.

DomainBarracksRob · Jan 3, 2019

so just realized when I delete a name sold from eRfty in my account ....it removes the Profit statistics as well as the "inquires" which I wanted to keep for reference

....is there a way to keep this info without keeping Names I no longer own listed in my account?

Just change them from "Portfolio" to either Dropped or Sold. It will keep the stats that way.

Thank you...but I guess it's to late now for the one I deleted?? I tried to add it back it was my big $3.1k sale

lol true ! Just like how it was listed and timelined inside Efty that given me a monthly oversight.

Haris · Jan 4, 2019

I don't even use any of these features in Efty. I only use them for the website and landing pages. I do all the finance stuff in my mind, lol

JB Lions · Jan 23, 2019

Just wondering if there are any updates coming up. @Doron Vermaat @lionel_efty

Just some stuff I'd like to see, some very minor, some already posted about:

1. The ability to pick multiple categories for each domain.

2. Some minor bugs. I can click on a category and let's say there are 24 domains. It will say 1 out of 24, instead of 10 out of 24. I can click Show More, then it will say 11 of 24. Should be 20 of 24. Another one, not a big deal at all. Let's say I click Pets category from home page. It'll have category/pets in the url. If I pick another category, it'll stay on /pets.

3. The ability to add more pages. You have About Us and Privacy pages. This one not a big deal to me, but it would be nice to have that option.

3. The big one for me, is home page customization, any customization options you can add. What kept me from signing up in the beginning was they all looked a bit cookie cutter. You knew an efty site when you landed on one. An example from a competitor of yours, using a site in Testimonials:

https://www.namezoo.com/

Scroll to the very bottom, where you have 3 columns. In this case they have Latest Domains, Premium, On Sale. I would love to see something like that. I think this one should be easy to do. Right now, I have 3 columns of boxes for Premium Domains. Don't like the boxes. Most big sites have the columns.

Hi JB, apologies for the delayed response. I just returned from NamesCon. We have a couple of very exciting announcements in the pipeline for the coming months. I can't really share many details as of yet but what I can say is that the focus will be on our core promise, helping our users sell more domains, with these updates.

We do know more customization for the marketplace and landing pages remains a popular request so we do our best to give this a place on the roadmap for this year.

JB Lions · Mar 26, 2019

We have some new stuff, reading it now:

Bring the power of Live Chat and Mailchimp to your Efty Marketplace
https://blog.efty.com/2019/03/26/br...-chat-and-mailchimp-to-your-efty-marketplace/

Doron Vermaat · Mar 26, 2019

Yes!

Personally I am very excited about the live chat. Hope you guys like it too.

efizi · Mar 27, 2019

Hi @Doron Vermaat, great work you are doing with Efty. I do have a question. Is there any way I can set my landing pages to redirect to the URL of the domain in my marketplace? Now that a live chat has been added, it's better each domain redirects to its marketplace URL. I sure will like to engage visitors or potential buyers. I will appreciate feedback also from the community if anyone knows how.
Thanks.

You sure can!

You can change that under Settings > For-Sale landing pages. See the screenshot below.

Please note that this is a feature only available for the Growth and Pro plan.

efizi · Mar 27, 2019

Thank you. I am on the growth plan.

Great additions to an already excellent domain platform. I'm on the 'pro plan', and the difference between pro and growth are basically 'white label' and stripe integration. I'm wondering though, is there any way of implementing a custom favicon on the landing pages as well? As of right now, the custom favicon only works on the marketplace itself. It's not a deal breaker, but it kind of makes sense to have a custom favicon on those pages as well, considering I'm paying for a white label site - and the price is quite hefty compared to the other tiers...

trelgor · Mar 28, 2019

Will the lander redirect to a unique ”market lander” tied to the Efty domain, similar to the Squadhelp setup? And in that case will these unique domain for sale pages be customizable and have the full Monty with chat et. al?

Help us test the new Efty.
