How CaptureSites Works
A simple, escrow-protected process for buying, selling and leasing premium domains.
For buyers
- Step 1
Find your domain
Browse the marketplace and filter by price, category, or lease availability.
- Step 2
Buy now or lease to own
Pay the full price by card or US bank account, or choose a 6–36 month lease-to-own plan at a fixed APR.
- Step 3
Funds held in escrow
Your payment is held by CaptureSites. The seller is not paid until the domain transfer is confirmed.
- Step 4
Receive the domain
The seller unlocks the domain and we start the registrar transfer with you as registrant. If the transfer fails or times out, you are refunded in full.

For sellers
- Step 1
List your domain
Set a buy-now price and, optionally, which lease-to-own terms you accept.
- Step 2
Connect payouts
Connect a Stripe account so payouts can reach your bank account.
- Step 3
Hand over the domain
When a buyer pays, you have 48 hours to unlock the domain and submit its auth code. Auth codes are encrypted at rest.
- Step 4
Get paid
Once the transfer completes you receive the sale price minus the 10% platform fee. For leases you are paid each installment as it is collected, minus a 15% fee.
