How to Use an iFrame to Integrate Domains Into Your User Experience (No Coding Required!) 

When digital platform businesses provide custom domains alongside existing products and services, they can reduce friction and meet their customers’ domain name needs. While several registrars offer domain reselling options, not all domain service providers have suitable integration options for businesses at different growth stages.

Previously, web platforms had limited options for integrating domains into their product offering. 

But now, there’s a flexible and UX-friendly solution: a name.com iFrame. 

Name.com, an Identity Digital company, introduced its domain reselling iFrame as an innovative solution that facilitates the seamless integration of domain name services into existing platforms with just a single, easy-to-use line of code. 

Reselling Domains via the name iFrame Solution

Name.com’s iFrame solution allows you to embed domain reselling services directly into your platform with a simple code snippet. With this integration, you provide your customers with a streamlined way to find and register domain names on your platform without any complex engineering or technical planning. 

But why offer domain reselling?

Domain names are a valuable asset, with a massive market of approximately 60 million potential domain shoppers each month.  Considering 71% of all businesses have a website in 2023, it makes sense that many small business owners, entrepreneurs, and individuals want to establish themselves digitally with their unique domain name. 

The name.com iFrame lets you launch this in-demand service immediately to capture revenue and interest from customers seeking domain names. 

The intuitive, seamless experience of registering domain names within an existing purchase flow also creates a better customer experience, increasing customer retention and loyalty. Simply put, when your customers can access all the in-demand domain services they need right on your platform, they have more incentive to remain engaged and keep coming back.

How to Integrate Domains Into Your Platform with an HTML iFrame

Discover how easy it is to launch domain services on your platform by reviewing these iFrame setup instructions:

1. Become a Reseller Partner

Becoming a reseller partner is as simple as filling out a form on the name.com website. Once you submit your details, the name.com team will connect with you and provide a unique partner ID that enables you to use the name.com iFrame. 

After receiving the authentication key, you’ll be ready to set up the name.com iFrame solution on your platform. Because access to the iFrame is limited to partners, this authorization process helps ensure a secure setup, allowing you to incorporate third-party tools into your site safely. 

Another benefit of partnering with name.com? There’s no up-front cost to reselling domains: 

• No contracts
• No commitments
• No mandated minimums

2. Implement the iFrame

Implementing name.com’s iFrame will only take a few moments of your time. 

The iFrame documentation page guides you through the process. It provides the code you need to activate the iFrame, adjust your security settings, and access order data—no additional coding or programming is necessary. 

Name.com also provides sample credit cards so that you can test the integration before debuting it with real customers. You can also view an iFrame demo to envision how name.com’s domain services will look when integrated into your platform.

3. Watch the Orders Come In

Once the iFrame is live on your site, name.com handles the rest of the domain registration and management process. However, you can use a basic JS script to gather order completion data for your domain reselling services. This information gives you a snapshot of the following: 

• How many customers are purchasing domain name add-ons 
• What types of domains are attracting the most attention

To that end, you can view which specific domain names your customers are registering. This includes legacy domain names and new domain names like .social, .pro, or .restaurant. By gathering and analyzing this information, you gain valuable insight into how to market your domain reselling services to your target audience. 

After establishing your business as a trusted domain reseller, you can explore ways to customize your domain search, registration, and management interface.

Integrate Domains for Improved User Experience

An iFrame offers a simple, low-investment proof of concept for how domain reselling can enhance your offerings. It lets you quickly provide your customers with the domain names they seek, establishing an additional revenue stream to improve your bottom line. Plus, by implementing an iFrame into your platform, you can keep your audience engaged and promote customer retention through your convenient, streamlined user experience. 

As the only provider offering iFrame reselling, name.com gives digital platforms an effortless way to provide high-value domain name services.
