DAN.COM Domain Marketplace (Official Thread)

[DAN.COM]

DAN.COM (formerly known as Undeveloped.com) is on a path to be become the biggest domain marketplace in the world. We use state of the art technology to solve everyday problems buyers and sellers in the domain industry face. At DAN.COM we focus on automating most processes required to buy & sell domains to increase a more efficient and active secondary market for domains.

What sets us apart is our strong focus on product development and customer satisfaction. We leave nothing to chance and every single feature and element we introduce is professionally and carefully designed and built.

DAN.COM is ranked in the top 5 best-rated marketplaces in the world (According to the biggest review platform Trustpilot) and in the domain industry, we're the domain marketplace with the highest rating with an average of 9,4 out of 10 points.

At DAN.COM you will get the highest value for the lowest commission around. Due to our domain transfer automation, we can offer significantly faster handling of domain transactions and payouts (usually within 24 hours) at the lowest fee charged by any domain marketplace.

We've been the first on many fronts and proudly will continue to keep innovating. We were the first to offer optimized for sale pages since 2013, the first to provide payment plans in the form of lease to own and rentals and also the first and only domain marketplace offering free SSL on all domains parked with us for over a year now.

Good morning @matt3214,

Thank you for contacting and notifying us. For future references, it would be best to contact us directly through our support. Unfortunately, it is not permitted to redirect leads from our marketplace to alternative platforms.

Do let me know in case you have any additional questions.

What do people find are the best options for selling their names on Dan.com.

BIN, installments, link to portfolio, make an offer, or a different combination of the above?

Thanks.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

For me only MakeOffer works...
For over 2.5 years no any BIN sales on DAN.

Hi Laszlo,

what's the status on a Buy-Now button API that can be integrated with own landers? You mentioned it's "coming soon" back in October/November.

Thanks

Al

It seems many things have been announced that haven't happened yet. I wonder if DAN 2.0 will be ready anytime soon?

Good morning @Magicpig2

In general, the following setup generates the best results:
- Buy now price
- Lease to own

However, it always differs per portfolio of course what ultimately will generate the results for you. If you contact our support chat we are happy to help you optimize your listings with us.

Have a great week.

Good morning Alexej K,

Thank you for checking in with us and my apologies if the update might have passed you. The API currently is available to our users and can be implemented in two different ways:

1. There is an easy integration where your buy now transactions can be fully automated on your own website/shop. The buyers that use a buy now button on your website will automatically get redirected to our checkout and will enjoy our transfer service.

2. There is the Advanced integration which allows you to offer the full spectrum of features we have available on Dan.com. Meaning, you can entertain buyers with flexible payment options including the Lease to own, installments, make offer, etc. Through the advanced integrator, you enable yourself to build your very own marketplace where you can even decide on your own commission.

The API can be accessed through this link: https://github.com/Undeveloped/api/tree/master/domain_transaction_engine/v1

Do let us know in case there are any additional questions.

Good morning @Embrand,

That is correct! The team is still working hard on getting it concluded. As we still have no fixed ETA yet no updates have been given so far.

Have a great week.

Thanks @LaszloSchenk, I indeed completely missed that.

For the Buy-now transactions that get redirected to Dan checkout, what is the commission there? Does that count as "own lead" therefore is at 5%?

Thanks again,

Al

Please add one more Privacy option...
I don't want to leak the domain names in the bank documents, your system puts them into comments for wires...

Or don't leak by default.

Hello @Jurgen Wolf

When was the last time you saw your sold domain name in the comment field? I used to see it in 2020 with payments originating from DAN with their bank account at FRANX, but not in 2021. There may be a difference with several international banks and currency conversions, and the accompanying descriptions on bank statements.

Hello,

You are right.
Looks that DAN already fixed this very long story.
I just rechecked my recent wire, it doesn't leak.

Hi @LaszloSchenk, I reached out to support to ask for API integration access, and I was told that I won't be given one since I don't have "an integration plan" - what's going on?

Thanks,

Alex

Hi @LaszloSchenk, What is the sort order when buyers view the list of names of a seller. It looks like names are sorted by length, which I don’t think is very helpful. Have you considered sorting by popularity (number of views)? I think that could lead to more offers by moving the “better” names to the top.

 

[samuel12]

@LaszloSchenk can buyer cancel transaction after payment has been secured by Dan? Just thoughts but I’ll like to know what’s Dan’s position.

 

[Skyvisum]

@LaszloSchenk ,

I would appreciate if Dan does not contact my buyer with an email after they have made a purchase, to inform them they can also sell their domains. You got paid your commission so why use the data of my buyer to contact them to sell their domain which they don't use?Without me bringing the customer ,you wouldn't be able to send those email.

Can you please stop doing that ?if it's in your TOS,can you please point that out .

Hi Alex,

I’m repeating what we told you via support as well: if an integrator like DNWE, Efty or United Domains wants to use our API they have to submit an integration plan. Based on that plan and if your plan matches our API requirements we can grant you access to it.

If you do not wish to tell us for what exact purpose you want to use our API for then we simply cannot grant you access.

Good morning @wrolie,

Thank you for contacting us.

We most certainly have considered it and actually have this and alternative options already listed with our product team for review. We will let you know in case anything changes on this front.

Have a great day!

Good morning @samuel12,

Thank you for contacting us.

In general, a transaction cannot be terminated. Especially transactions that already got paid for cannot be terminated. Of course, there are some rare corner cases that we review on a case-to-case basis but as indicated this rarely occurs!

Have a great day.
