Atom.com Transfer Center Status Meanings

I frequently see people posting screenshots of their domain name sales on Atom. There are different messages overlaid on the images of the logo and sale price. I thought I would share what each means so people understand the status of a sale that is shared publicly. This can help people understand if a domain name was purchased outright or with a payment plan.

There could be additional messages I haven’t seen before or don’t recall seeing, but here’s a list of Atom.com Transfer Center Messages and what I believe they mean:

Seller Paid – The buyer purchased the domain name in full, and the seller was paid. These are completed deals.

Domain Purchased – The buyer purchased the domain name, but Atom is still verifying the payment. It can take a business day for verification to be completed, so these should not be considered sold at that moment.

Seller Pushed Domain to Atom – These are LTO payment plan sales. This message is listed once Atom receives the buyers first payment. The status changes to “Seller Paid” once the buyer makes all payments due.

Buyer Instructions Received – The buyer paid and Atom asked the buyer where the domain name needs to be sent so the seller can either push it or send the authorization code for a transfer.

There could be additional status messages I am unfamiliar with, but these are the messages I know about.
