news NamePros Landers with Buy Now, Escrow.com integration, and much more

Hey, domain sellers!

We have a special surprise for you.

Continuing from last year (and last week), we have some exciting updates to share with you about NamePros Parking Landers!

First, consider this:

You price your domain name at $2,500. For years, hundreds of interested buyers want to buy it, but the price is too high for them. They don't even try to contact you because they don't realize that the price is negotiable or may change. Years later, you decide to lower the price to $995. How many previously-interested buyers would buy it at this lowered price? You’d never know — until now!

With our new Buy Now options, you can finally contact those previous buyers to increase your sales opportunities.

Here’s how:

Our landers have an option that requires buyers to confirm their email address before they can see the price. Once confirmed, the price is available to them and their email address is available to you. Simple and effective. Learn more on DNW.com.

Want to see more styles and options? Visit our live demo domains!

Now, let’s talk new features!​

• Buy Now: Add a Buy button with a sales price and payment options for buyers to purchase your domains.
  • Escrow.com (Recommended): Starts an Escrow.com transaction for you and allows the buyer to pay immediately.
  • PayPal: Creates a PayPal transaction for the buyer to pay directly to your PayPal account.
  • Email: You and the buyer use email to choose a payment method (e.g., crypto), discuss lease-to-own (LTO) options, etc.
• Location: Country, region (e.g., state or province), and locality (e.g., city, town, or village) of your inquirers to help you understand where they are located, the best time to contact them, etc.
• Bulk Management: Set options on multiple domains at the same time: prices, payment methods, appearance, etc. using our website's interface or your favorite spreadsheet software (e.g., Google Sheets).
  • Bulk Edit: Export, Edit, and Upload to apply your changes all at once.
• Exports: Download a list of your domains and their settings, customizations, and inquiries, including buyers’ email addresses, offers, etc. (CSV format.)
• Domain Verification: Verify your domains by using any of these methods: name servers (NS), CNAME, or TXT records.
• Supersonic Speed Boost: Our landers already loaded blazingly fast, but now they’re even faster — a powerful increase in performance!
  • For techies: Go, Redis, and Elastic (previously only: PHP and MySQL)

Wait, there’s more!

PRO TIP: There is a common misconception about how many domain sales happen because of marketplaces. In reality, many sales would still happen (and do happen) without the help of a marketplace, so NamePros is providing a free solution to sell domains and you keep 100% of your profit.

Our for-sale parking service is 100% free:​

• No upfront fees
• No monthly fees
• No commission (0%)
• No upgraded account necessary
• 100% of your sales belong to you!

How does all that sound?

Is that all I need to do or do I need to add these domain names to Atom as well?

If you're a trusted seller on Atom, then that's all you need to do. Otherwise, you have to verify them with Atom first.

I do not believe that I am. No names listed there and all I ever did was create an account (before it became “Atom” so I need to get that done. Thank you.

Once Atom recognizes you as a “trusted seller,” that status will appear on your Dashboard. It’s awarded based on multiple trust and performance metrics, with past sales likely being a significant factor. You can't just arrange it straight away.

Sales are one way to qualify, but they're not the only way: https://www.atom.com/blog/introduci...ram-a-faster-smoother-experience-for-sellers/

Once you verify your domains with them, you can probably just request it from their customer support, depending on the quality and quantity of a portfolio.

In the future, you won't need a trusted seller status with them thanks to our partner ID. We're waiting on them to finish this feature.

Also, your domains can sell through their platform without using their landers, which can also help you earn that status. So if their platform helps you sell a domain, then you pay their large commission. If your buyer comes through a lander, then you pay 0% commission or 4.5% commission for AtomPay.

The Atom blog specifies that you need to either reach Gold tier status or higher (based on the number of accepted Premium domains) or to have a record of domain sales. Do you think there's a shortcut to achieving the trusted seller status by just asking?

Thank you for continuing to add meaningful partnerships that bring value to the Name Pros Lander Pages, but how are you making out with bringing other trusted partners aboard for the escrow service transactions. I personally would like Name Pros to have a few more options of "escrow services" added to the list that will offer a fair and fixed percentage price already visible and in place at the time of our domain name sales. Our job was bringing both the buyer and seller to the escrow table, so having clarity and actually seeing 4% or 4.5% or what have you next to the name of the escrow service makes things fairly easy and transparent at the checkout point. This should be ideal for most registrars who we already know and continue to do business with on a daily basis.

The Atom blog specifies that you need to either reach Gold tier status or higher (based on the number of accepted Premium domains)

This one is not based on sales.

It also never hurts to ask if exceptions can be made, based on the quantity and qualify of your portfolio.

 

[Future Sensors]

This one is not based on sales.

Perhaps you have other information, but this is what they state on their blog: "typically those who have Gold or higher status or those who have already sold a certain number of domains on our platform"

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

how are you making out with bringing other trusted partners aboard for the escrow service transactions

EscrowDomains.com is actively working on integration technology so we can add them. Efty Pay said they're working on it, as well. Sedo.com is in continued discussions with us. There's not much else we can do on our end.

However, the biggest influence comes from sellers requesting it directly from those services. That's what led to Atom reaching out to us and helping us integrate with them.

Our requests alone only go so far; providers are more likely to make it a priority when sellers reach out to them about it.

We appreciate your help.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

this is what they state on their blog: "typically those who have Gold or higher status or those who have already sold a certain number of domains on our platform"

In this sentence, the word "or" means there are two separate ways to qualify:

"Typically those who have Gold or higher status or those who have already sold a certain number of domains on our platform"

You can qualify by either:

1. Having Gold or higher status, or
2. Having already sold a certain number of domains on the platform.

#1 is not based on sales.

Their sentence explicitly gives two alternative options, so meeting either one is sufficient.

The word "typically" in their sentence indicates that exceptions can be made, so contact their customer support to see if you qualify for an exception.

 

[Future Sensors]

This one is not based on sales.

Then, I don't understand what you meant with this.

 

[Future Sensors]

Given that @ResoluteDomains currently has no names listed at Atom, it hasn’t reached Gold status, and no domains have been sold via the platform.

Just to clarify, I never indicated that both requirements need to be met.

Then, I don't understand what you meant with this.

Atom's account levels are not based on sales; they're based on premium listings.

Given that @ResoluteDomains currently has no names listed at Atom, it hasn’t reached Gold status, and no domains have been sold via the platform.

With a strong portfolio, creating a lot of premium listings to qualify for a Gold account can be done much faster than selling domains, generally speaking.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

Then, I don't understand what you meant with this.

You may not have noticed that I only quoted part of your message so that I could specifically refer to it. Sorry for any confusion caused by that.

 

[Future Sensors]

Atom's account levels are not based on sales; they're based on premium listings.

I never claimed otherwise, please read above carefully.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

I never claimed otherwise, please read above carefully.

I know; I was just explaining my previous message because you said you didn't understand what I meant, but I probably caused the confusion by accident.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

Given that @ResoluteDomains currently has no names listed at Atom, it hasn’t reached Gold status, and no domains have been sold via the platform.

We heard back from Atom on this:

If they’re a serious domain investor with a large portfolio and a strong trust score on NamePros, we’d be happy to make them a Trusted Seller on our platform and waive the usual requirements.

Great news!

Great news!

If you get the leads ,just list your names on standard and then import the leads using atom pay .This is what i did. I was not a trusted seller .

Never let any outside marketplace dictate to you, when there are so many options out there, where you can import your lead and close .

They should be happy that they are being considered as an option to close a deal .You are bringing them a business to simply get a commission just for handling the final payment process.
