Pushing Multiple Domains to Another Reseller

The bulk actions tool can push multiple domains from your OpenSRS reseller account to another reseller account in a single request. The domain push feature bypasses the standard transfer flow and works only between two consenting OpenSRS reseller accounts. This article walks through the two-step process: authorizing the losing reseller and submitting the bulk push.

Warning: The domain push feature is disabled by default and must be enabled by OpenSRS before you can use it. Contact OpenSRS Support to request activation.

How domain push differs from a standard transfer

A domain push moves domains directly between two OpenSRS reseller accounts without a registry transfer, without a 60-day age requirement, and without authorization emails to the registrant. It is the fastest way to move many domains at once, but both resellers must opt in and you cannot reverse a completed push. For inter-registrar moves, use the standard transfer flow described in A Complete Guide to Domain Transfers.

Before you begin

Confirm the following before starting a push:

• OpenSRS has enabled the domain push feature on both reseller accounts.
• You and the gaining reseller have agreed on which domains will move.
• You know the gaining reseller's username.
• You have decided whether each pushed domain should create a new registrant profile or be added to an existing profile on the gaining reseller account.
• You have noted any locked domains in the push and decided whether to apply the push to them.

Warning: There is no undo for a domain push. Once submitted, you may be able to cancel the job in the bulk actions queue, but any domains already processed cannot be retrieved.

Step 1: Authorize the losing reseller to push domains

The gaining reseller must explicitly authorize the losing reseller before a push can run. This step is currently available only in the Classic Reseller Interface.

1. Log in to the Classic Reseller Interface.
2. Click Transfer management, then select Push domain settings.
3. In the text field, enter the username of the losing reseller who will push domains into your account.
4. Click Add reseller.

Step 2: Push the domains from the losing reseller account

1. In the Domains section of the Reseller Control Panel, tick the boxes for the domains you want to push. To enter a list of domains instead of selecting them individually, skip the selection and continue.
2. From the Bulk actions drop-down, select Move to another reseller.
3. In the Gaining reseller's username field, enter the gaining reseller's username.
4. Choose the user-account behaviour for the pushed domains:
   • Put accounts into an existing profile — Add the selected domains to an existing profile in the gaining reseller's account. You must provide the domain, username, and password for that profile.
   • Create new profile for each domain — Create a new registrant profile for each domain in the gaining reseller's account.
5. Optionally tick Apply to locked domains:
   • When ticked, locked domains are unlocked, pushed, and re-locked automatically.
   • When unticked, locked domains are skipped. Check the results in the bulk actions queue.
6. Optionally enter an email address in the Email results to field.
7. Click Move domain.

Note: If you submit the wrong domains, you may still be able to cancel the bulk job. Domains already processed cannot be reversed.

Next steps

• Request domain push activation — Contact OpenSRS Support to enable the feature on both reseller accounts.
• Use a standard transfer instead — When the destination is a different registrar, follow Transfer In Process or Transfer Away Process.
• Review bulk actions results — Check the bulk actions queue for any skipped or failed domains after the job runs.
• Review the full transfer lifecycle — Read A Complete Guide to Domain Transfers to compare push with reseller-to-reseller and registrar-to-registrar transfers.
