Due to their popularity and value, premium domains have special transfer pricing. When the transfer of a premium domain to Enom fails due to an invalid premium price error, the price must be obtained through Application Programming Interface (API) commands.
- Transfer error canceled due to invalid premium price
- API command PE_GetPremiumPricing
- API command TP_CreateOrder
Transfer error canceled due to invalid premium price
This error is presented when transferring a domain to Enom when a premium domain is missing the price, and the order cannot proceed.
Transfer error Canceled - Invalid premium price
To resolve the issue, the account holder must run two API commands: the first retrieves the price, and the second creates a new order with the retrieved pricing.
Note: Fill in the required fields and remove their brackets i.e. {transfer} becomes transfer.
- Fill in the required fields and run the example PE_GetPremiumPricing command.
