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.)

• 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?

On mobile it still shows on the thread list via new posts button, just darker. My way is better, i couldn't even find this thread on my laptop, since @NamePros was on ignore via my phone. If your talking alerts, i dont check them up to 679 now, did hit 5,000 old days
Anyways thanks for the pm with the link back to your comment here.

Now i am on the big machine I can see much more and make an informed decision based on data
And there is plenty of data
Will take some time to analyze
I will say looking at nuggies which is anass kicking name, the colours and lander itself are super premium, nice on the eyes and the fonts, camel casing all look great. Design wise you score big.

Pricing has nothing to do with it @LoveCatchyDomains

I added 62 names from Spaceship and did a bulk NS change. Half the names were verified immediately, but the other half are still not verified an hour later. Icann shows the NS change.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

why the contact form is used first before seeing the price?

They’ll verify automatically. It just takes time because of how DNS updates work:

DNS is a widely distributed and heavily cached system. That’s why DNS changes can take up to 72 hours (3 days) to update everywhere. Those changes have to propagate across the entire internet. Some domains will update faster than others because each domain is cached independently of other domains.

Check again in a couple hours.

We just checked. In this particular case, it’s because you have DNSSEC enabled on some of your domains. Disable that, and then they’ll automatically verify.

Few suggestions :
-What about Capitalization of first words in Domain Names as an option.
-delete option to removing old inquiries (or the ones we tested from the list.
- if same buyer inquire about another name, still asking to verify his email id which i think not smart as system should detect weather this email is already verified or not.
- Total domain count not shown in dashboard.

"Remove NamePros Branding: An option to remove unnecessary mentions of NamePros from parked pages."

This should be done as fast as possible, without that sellers are just huring their potential transactions.

 

[Name Trader]

I'm not quite ready for the CSV yet. But would appreciate it within approx 2 weeks?

What about Capitalization of first words in Domain Names as an option.

The capitalization of domains can be adjusted under the Edit button and under the “Add domains” button.

delete option to removing old inquiries (or the ones we tested from the list.

The inquiries on the website are meant to be used as a backup. The management of those inquiries, such as deleting, should take place in your email or a CRM. Both of those have a lot of great features to manage your inquiries.

if same buyer inquire about another name, still asking to verify his email id which i think not smart as system should detect weather this email is already verified or not.

This would be a security vulnerability because then anyone who has submitted an inquiry in the past could be impersonated without verification.

Each request has to be verified so that we are certain it is the person who owns that email address. No one can be certain of that without separate verification of each inquiry.

Total domain count not shown in dashboard.

This shows once you exceed 50 domains, but we agree with you: it should always show.

Thanks for these suggestions.

This is already available and several members are using it.

Give it a try.

Sounds good.

Awesome work!

Do you guys have any stats integration? Inhouse or Google Analytics the way Dan had it?

That's in the works.

Is there anything else that you'd like us to add?

Let us know.

Let us know.

First, my compliments to the team. Seeing as behemoths like Godaddy cannot figure out simple bugs (e.g. synching data about pricing in GD account with Afternic or even listed status) for years and then watching how you make major changes on the fly is a refreshing sight.

I will post shortly what would be important for me personally. Of course, the primary things I am looking for are a) conversion b) data.

Conversion is needed to beat the GD/Afternic 25%/15% discrepancy. And data can affect many things like pricing, parking or not, renewing etc.

 

[Domain boy]

Is the set up of a original namepros escrow service also in the works?

Once you'll have that one, I'll be IN!

 

[zotix]

This page is working. I was visiting https://www.namepros.com/parking/domains

Which was "forcing" me to enter an email address; thus, is it inaccessible from outside?
Maybe I understood a bit wrong, most likely - as you know me :D

Let me send you some ideas; I would from my pov. Implement post-MVP as excellent features. Those are PHP scripts, so they would perfectly fit into your Technical framework.

Best,
zotix.

Yes, that page requires that you have an account.

It's part of the parking control panel where sellers manage their domains.

We hope that helps.

Ok got it
Check DM.
Paul is ready to fire.

Kind regards
