If Godaddy were to implement a payment plan on domains I believe our sales would go through the roof. Not everyone has a few thousand dollars to spend on a good domain name but they do have a couple hundred bucks to spend monthly. What holds back most domain buyers is upfront cost. They may feel the domain is worth what we are asking but may not have the upfront money to buy it but easily can and will spend a couple hundred on a payment plan.

Let's be realistic, most live their life on payments and don't even care what the total amount of something costs but only care how much it costs monthly. Not only will a payment plan help to increase the likelihood of a sale but it will help increase the amount of a sale. A buyer may not spend $1,500 upfront but would easily spend $2,500 or more if the cost is spread out over a twelve month or more timeframe.

I personally believe this would blow the roof off of domain sales. @Joe Styler why has this not been done yet and is there any plan for it in the future? We are about to begin the year 2017 and every aspect of our life can be payed monthly. Hell, you can even buy a new smartphone for 5 bucks a month. Times are changing and payment plans are the future of all commerce. Why not domain sales? It's time!

We do not have a payment plan perhaps you can use a credit card as someone else suggested in the thread.

I list my domains on GoDaddy auction site and use them as my main registrar but I prefer to use Undeveloped for my landing page as I find the the option of monthly payments on sales over £1,000 (correct me if i'm wrong on this figure) is as suggested a good way of conducting business and offers clients/customers the option. As a consumer you want to have a variety of options to pick from and will tend to end up with the one which gives value, flexibility and ease of use - branding and trust also help!

Just my 2 cents but at the end of the day it boils down to personal choice.

NOTE: I have no affiliation with Undeveloped in any way!

Mr. Joe Styler I'm using a Visa-Debit-Card. Meaning: I'm using my own money, so i'm right back at the "beginning" again. I don't have the cash to pay upfront, Sir please Help.

We do not offer payment plans. I am sorry to hear that you cannot pay. We do not have any other option I can think of.
