Upmind handles domain transfers as a product option behind the scenes. The product option is assigned to a domain product, which can be selected by the client as a transfer of their domain. Typically, a domain transfer involves a compulsory renewal of a domain name, and therefore, a domain transfer is the same price as a domain registration. Therefore, by default, a domain transfer is a free option on top of a domain product. In some cases (such as UK domains), it can override the price of the domain name. Our system therefore models this as: Standard domain transfers that involve a one-year renewal of a domain - a free option on top of a registration. Domain transfers that do not extend the renewal period of a domain and are therefore free, an option where the price overrides the parent product to 0. You do not need to edit the settings here unless you want to change Upmind’s default behavior. However, if you wish, you can do it like this:
  1. Go to Settings > Product Catalogue.
Settings > Product Catalogue
  1. Click on the Product options tab. Click Add new.
Add new product option
  1. Create a new product options category for domain setup. Tick the box for override price to manually adjust the transfer fee.
Add product options category
You have the option to either enable or disable the override product price. When activated, the regular price will be replaced with the override price (in this case, “transfer fee”), which can be managed within the product option billing settings. Upon the renewal, the price will revert back to the original price. We’ll configure both the override and regular prices for your setup. Let’s take into account a product priced at 30withrecurringpayments.Furthermore,we′vesetupatransferfeeof30 with recurring payments. Furthermore, we've set up a transfer fee of 10. Here are the details:
