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.

  • Bulk Edit: Export, Edit, and Upload to apply your changes all at once.

Agreed, but there is a caveat:

Each time reCAPTCHA is unsure, it shows a CAPTCHA that must be solved.

Human visitors who do not intend to complete the form are unlikely to solve that CAPTCHA, which means their visit would then not be logged as having occurred.

Marking interactions that you are reasonably sure involve humans can already be very valuable in reports. As you mentioned, it's consistently challenging to accurately exclude all automated traffic from the reports. That’s why I suggested reversing this process and marking the interactions that are most likely human. You’re quite right that this method has its own considerations, but I believe it could be more practical than chasing down bots.

Thoughts?

 

[Future Sensors]

Please DO NOT add a captcha to the landers. We will lose traffic

It's already present.

 

[NameGroove]

It's already present.

I have never been shown a captcha on any NP landers I came across. So perhaps it's a toggle that domainers can switch off?

It's this icon in the footer.

That you didn't notice is a good thing. It does what it is supposed to do quietly but effectively.

Oh, I guess I misunderstood. I thought you wanted potential buyers to solve a captcha. As long as that doesn't appear... small icons like this are ubiquitous and as such go unseen.

Well, it's not something I 'want', but sometimes people/bots will be shown a version that they will have to interact with.

[Bravo Mod Team]

I thought you wanted potential buyers to solve a captcha.

It’s very rare for a potential buyer to need to solve a CAPTCHA after completing the form because the act of filling out the form and submitting it is often sufficient for Google’s reCAPTCHA to determine whether the form was completed by a human or a bot.

When the visitor is not going to interact with the website (e.g., because they just typed it in to see what was there), then reCAPTCHA will have less data at its disposal and will be more often unable to determine if the visitor is a bot without a CAPTCHA.

This is why it’s challenging to apply this same technology to traffic monitoring.

It’s generally a nonissue for form submissions, which is the only time we currently use reCAPTCHA.

 

[Future Sensors]

This is why it is challenging to apply this same technology to traffic monitoring.

That's why I mentioned advanced fingerprinting as well. Without further details.

Any chance of bringing dan type landers or domaineasy type landers before this year ends ?

 

[NameGroove]

I received an inquiry email from NamePros about one of my listed names. If I click on the email it shows the inquiry on NP. However, if I go directly to the inquiries section it does not show. Is this because the inquirer never confirmed their email? If so, I would like these inquiries to show on the dashboard alongside the confirmed inquiries.

On the Inquiries page you can set it to see ALL regardless of confirmation or not

and/or on each domain name you can specify whether or not you would like to see any inquiry sent to email regardless if they confirm or not.

Finally, if you want you can have the profile level switch to sent ALL inquires for ALL domains, regardless of confirmation:

thanks! That first setting you showed fixed the "problem".

Is there any way to delete inquiries?

Not at the moment. I have suggested there should be at least a way to hide them (especially my test inquiries to my own domains) but so far no. I'd love to be able to hide inquries that have never responded to me after 3 attempts.

I agree. @Bravo Mod Team please give us the option to hide or delete inquiries

Any chance of bringing dan type landers . . . before this year ends ?

Yes, almost done. Maybe we can show a sneak peek soon.

It would be great to show a sneak peak - maybe can provide feedback so you can tweak prior to completion?

When I click on a user display name or link to NP account at landing page, it shows an error and a blank screen from time to time both on mobile and desktop, is it only for me or for everyone?

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

When I click on a user display name or link to NP account at landing page, it shows an error and a blank screen from time to time both on mobile and desktop, is it only for me or for everyone?

It happens when “visited domain” and “user card” are both enabled.

It’s due to a security feature that blocks loading NamePros.com within an iframe to prevent scams (e.g., phishing). It’ll work if you select to open the link in a new tab in your browser.

On our end, we need to either add a security exception or default to open that link in a new tab.

However, many users have expressed not wanting that link to lead to their NamePros profile, so this security feature is acting as a temporary solution to that.

Currently, the seller description can only be shown if you link to your NamePros profile, but we’re going to make that optional soon.

Update: Fixed.

 

[domvault]

Yes, almost done. Maybe we can show a sneak peek soon.

Soon wen ?

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

Soon wen ?

Sneak peeks are tricky because we have so many configuration options now that the possibilities are almost endless.

As a small example, for each of the 360 hues that you can choose, you can also now choose Light, Standard, or Dark (360 * 3 = 1,080 colors):

Blue background:



Green background:



Additionally, you can choose to make the background a solid color or a gradient (1,080 * 2 = 2,160 background options).

You'll also be able to choose the background of the banner where the domain is displayed to be a solid color, gradient, or the default image with circles. Eventually, we'll offer more image options.

And then there's the option that adds all the Dan-like text (e.g., FAQs) that many sellers like now.

With so many possibilities, it'll be easier for everyone to just play with it once it's ready.
