Show the cost of domains during the purchase/renewal processes
When purchasing or renewing domains via Nominet's Web interface when logged in as a Nominet member, the cost per domain purchase/renewal and the total cost are never shown, not even on the page returned after a purchase/renewal!
Considering this action costs our organisation money, it's very perplexing that the amount it costs us isn't shown, especially once the domains for purchase/renewal have been selected and we're shown a final summary page (without the prices) prior to submitting the transaction. Please add the cost of the domain purchases/renewals (and a total cost) to the process!

Yes, I'm referring to the Web Domain Manager (i.e. for non-gov.uk domains) which has had this lack of pricing information for many, many years. It's the only Web site I've ever seen for personal or business use that involves online purchases and fails to indicate at any point in the purchasing process what the cost will be!

Hi Richard, thanks for sharing your feedback. Can I clarify, are you referring to the Nominet UK Web Domain Manager - the UI for managing .uk domains? Our plan is to migrate all UK domains onto our new platform, Dragon Domain Manager which has improved functionality, including a full cost breakdown for registering and renewing domains to make it clear to the user what fees they are signing up to. We will share more details on the Dragon Domain Manager platform soon, stay tuned to the Registrar Resources page for more information: https://registrars.nominet.uk/registry/dot-uk/
