By Pavithra R

GoDaddy, focussed on empowering everyday entrepreneurs has announced the launch of GoDaddy Payments, a new payments solution that enables GoDaddy Websites + Marketing and Managed WordPress WooCommerce customers to handle all of their commerce transactions directly through GoDaddy. 

The new solution is built using the technology and teams acquired from Poynt in December 2020. The solution provides a fast and secure way for the company’s e-commerce customers to get paid. The setup process is simple and quick, enabling customers to begin using GoDaddy Payments for processing their customers’ transactions in minutes. Payments are processed securely and efficiently, with funds deposited into users’ bank accounts on the next business day.

“GoDaddy is hyper focused on empowering our customers to sell everywhere with a single solution in a seamlessly intuitive experience. GoDaddy Payments represents a major step towards centralizing every tool and service a business needs to successfully sell online. Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and we look forward to accelerating our efforts,” said GoDaddy President of Commerce Osama Bedier.

Through the payment solution, customers can manage all orders, payments and refunds, alongside every other aspect of their online business, from one intuitive dashboard. GoDaddy Payments accepts all major credit and debit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover for a low transaction fee, with no long-term contracts, no monthly minimums or any hidden fees. The solution adds to the company’s suite of commerce and online store capabilities, including website building, digital marketing, marketplace syndication, social integrations, and beyond.

GoDaddy Payments is part of the firm’s expanding commerce platform that will include in-person payment capabilities for seamless online and offline shopping experiences later this year.
