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?

P.S. Our announcement last week was not a prank. Spatial Scrolling™ is real, courtesy of NamePros innovation!

They might have put $1 to start the conversation because, you guessed it, there is no other way to start the conversation.

The offer field is optional.

Please consider adding a textbox for the inquirer to write an inquiry.

Yep, that’ll be part of our upcoming optional qualifying feature that we posted about yesterday.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

It came thru (got an email) although it is set at 500 min offer. FYI, I have not made any changes to the lander.

Could you check if this is the cause?

We’re going to turn that confusing option into two options as @DomainRecap recommended.

 

[Mister Funsky]

Could you check if this is the cause?

No, immediate is not activated.

It is also disturbing because the email I received started with 'RE' as if I has already sent them something.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

It is also disturbing because the email I received started with 'RE' as if I has already sent them something.

That indicates that the email did not come from us.

It must be either from the buyer replying to their inquiry-confirmed email or from an older inquiry with the same buyer.

The subject stays the same if the domain name and the buyer are the same, so your email client might combine old inquiries with new inquiries. That’s by design so you can easily access past relevant conversations.

Could you forward us the emails? We can tell you exactly what happened.

 

[Mister Funsky]

Could you forward us the emails? We can tell you exactly what happened.

Yes.

I did go back and check domain name contact but did not go further before I made my first post about it. Give me a few and I will send it to you...thanks for looking into it.

It must be either from the buyer replying to their inquiry-confirmed email or from an older inquiry with the same buyer.

Just a quick update: it was the first one. All is good here.

That is quite a relief...thanks for looking into it. It is the first time this happened. They were from an extension that gave me pause.

Does that mean I don't need to put that long string for the 2nd server? I cannot get any .im added as the registry does not accept the long 2nd server name.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

I cannot get any .im added as the registry does not accept the long 2nd server name.

Yeah, this is on our to-do list. The .im registry has a senseless character limit on name servers, which means we have to shorten the length of our verification nameservers to fix it. That’s going to be a headache.

In the meantime, you can verify with TXT or CNAME, and once verified, use our generic name servers.

Does that mean I don't need to put that long string for the 2nd server?

Once verified, that’s correct.

Will be switching between 2,3,4,5,8,9 .So 2 definitely first and the others I will use depending on the domain name .

I prefer bold background look.

[alcy]

so np now offers escrow or what's the deal?

I dont post much since they banned me for telling scammer to fockoff

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

so np now offers escrow or what's the deal?

We offer escrow integration.

 

[alcy]

We offer escrow integration.

ah ok
for moment I thought u added your own escrow

well either way I maintain what i said elsewhere.. a 2 second bin page setup on dyna or sav at 5perxent eliminates all any need for all any escrow.

no mid man
instant push
quick payout
max safety cause it's all on registrar

if I had more iq and thought of this even when dan addlead was alive I would have never bothered with their add lead.

I have just eliminated all esxrows from my life and saved fees and time.

but u all do what u want

we all live by our iqs
hahaa

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

well either way I maintain what i said

Yep, and you can have the best of both worlds by using our lander for all the extra features it offers, and then send your buyers to your registrar's checkout process if you want.

 

[Skyvisum]

Excellent. This list has been required for a while. I haven't looked at them all, but I notice that for both MakeEnquiry and QualRequired, after clicking Continue you enter your name and contact details and are presented with a button that says 'Show purchase price'. This seems a bit redundant since you have already seen the purchase price. Shouldn't that button say 'Continue to payment', or similar?...

Yep, you're absolutely right. We'll get that updated.

Thanks for catching that!
