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!

Tell us the features that you want for NamePros Parking because we’re adding new features all year!

• Inquiry notifications: Choose whether to be notified only about inquiries that have confirmed their email address, or all inquiries including unconfirmed inquiries and offers below your chosen minimum, sent by email. Regardless of these settings, all inquiries are accessible on the website.
• Reach Unreachable Buyers: Contact buyers with one-click using proven deliverability and reachability to request that they email you and add your email address to their email's address book and allowlist, by using our "Ask for a reply" button.

• Descriptions with links: Add links to any text in descriptions, including short descriptions, expanded descriptions, and the seller description.
• Descriptions with custom FAQs: Add questions and answers (Q&As) to your expanded descriptions. These fancy theme-based FAQs expand and collapse to keep the page simple and polished.
• Exclusive VIP benefits: Special VIP recognition for VIP members in the confidence-building area and footer of landers. Less disclaimers on landers (e.g., removes the popup tooltip disclaimers for descriptions). And more!
• Catch-All Inbox: A unified mailbox of all emails sent to your parked domains.
• ️ Update: We created a dedicated page for new features and updates. Moving forward, visit this page to see what's new.

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?

Nice job with the recent updates! I think they should be added to the New Features button at the Landers page. I I have been checking the New Features link periodically, and totally missed key updates thinking there haven't been any changes since April

Thank you.

Absolutely! We've been so focused on releasing new features that we haven't put aside time to fully announce them yet. We'll do that soon.

We just added a note there to let others know: https://www.namepros.com/parking/change-log/46/view

Thanks for the reminder!

I haven't been throught this thread in a while so sorry if any things already been mentioned but can I link payment methods/gateways to the BIN button so that if someone presses it it goes straight to an Escrow or Atom payment link etc?

Is there a public facing portfolio page I can assign a domain to? I know I've asked a while back but checking for any progress.

The landers look great btw.

We're happy to answer any questions so you don't have to read through everything. Feel free to contact us anytime.

can I link payment methods/gateways to the BIN button so that if someone presses it it goes straight to an Escrow or Atom payment link etc?

Yep, both of those are fully integrated.

For unsupported payment methods, you can either: (1) use our "Email" payment method, or (2) provide links to them in the description areas: Learn more.

Is there a public facing portfolio page I can assign a domain to?

There are a couple ways this can be done: (1) link to Google Sheets with domains listed, or (2) link to a portfolio domain with them listed, such as (2a) Condone.com links to Rename.co or (2b) PriceVisible.com links to BothDescrips.com where the whole portfolio is displayed.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the quick reply. Much appreciated. I might give them another trial run.

Last time I pointed 120 odd names to NPs landers and had trouble with fake BIN clicks and fake enquiries (9 or 10 in a couple weeks from memory). That was a year ago. Has there been any improvements in filtering these out? I've not experienced this at all using Atom landers.

Edit - I guess the BIN button being linked to a gateway would negate a lot of this if they are prompted to start the transaction .

Last time I pointed 120 odd names to NPs landers and had trouble with fake BIN clocks and fake enquiries (9 or 10 in a couple weeks from memory). That was a year ago. Has there been any improvements in filtering these out? I've not experienced this at all using Atom landers.

Yep, we now have the industry's best qualification features, by a significant margin!

Typically, only one qualification setting would be enabled at a time, depending on your preference/domains. For demonstration purposes, we've enabled both on QualRequired.com (live demo).

Other platforms disregard/delete those leads without you knowing, and sometimes they do so erroneously. With our solution, you can still see everything to ensure nothing slips through the cracks, but you won't be bothered unless they pass qualification.

Give it a try.

Thank you!

We've added a lot of customization options so everyone can make a lander they love.

With some more options on the way!

Here's a small suggestion to add to the inquiry details shown in the parking dashboard. All these little bits together might paint a full picture.

Can someone or Mod create a separate thread so people can post name that was sold from Namepro Lander?
This would convince me and some people should I switch to Namepros lander or not.

Yeah, we're thinking about doing some outreach to sellers who have sold domains using our landers to see if they'd be open to sharing them publicly.

By default, all sales through our landers are private. Every now and then, sellers share them. We know of a ton of big sales through our landers that have not been reported publicly.

We'll ask some sellers if they wouldn't mind publicizing them.

 

[johnn]

Create a separate thread and let them post in there. This thread is too long.

I think the regular reported sales thread is enough, if they chose to.Does it mean,all market place needs to have their own thread and another for whols inquiries? .

People just need to mention namepros landers like I have seen them do.

But if it would sellers happy and motivate more people to use namepros landers,go for it.

I just use a word of mouth to suggest to friends to give namepros landers a try as they get to control and see their leads.

Also @Bravo Mod Team ,you need to add a section for number of visits/views,just like it is shown on spaceship seller hub statistics.

I have to log into Google analytics and I simply want to see the visits or views on my dashboard on namepros landers.

@Paul should be able to resume working on that soon. Higher priorities have been delaying it lately.

Thank you.

Could this be affecting NP landers?

One of mine isn't working with a direct type-in and I'm not sure why.

A little bit for some domains but not all.

It's affecting most of the internet, such as these websites:

• Apple Music
• AT&T
• Chime
• Delta Air Lines
• Epic Games Store
• Fortnite
• Internet Movie Database (IMDb)
• Lyft
• Max
• McDonalds app
• Reddit
• Ring
• Robinhood
• Roblox
• Roku
• Playstation Network
• Signal
• Snapchat
• Spectrum
• Starbucks
• Steam
• Ubisoft Connect
• Venmo
• Xbox Network
• Xfinity by Comcast
• Zoom

Amazon is working on it; it should be resolved soon.

Does it makes sesnse that the longtail url is working i.e. https://www.namepros.com/parked/********.com, but not the direct type-in i.e. ********.com?

Or does that mean it's something else that's not configured properly on my end?

 

[Future Sensors]

This Amazon Smart Plug is not amused.

It's just hit or miss until Amazon fixes it. Some servers are fine, and other servers are having issues within Amazon's network, outside of our control unfortunately.
