Domain registrar and web hosting giant GoDaddy is the latest technology company to unveil its own payment processing solution. Launched this week, GoDaddy Payments enables GoDaddy Websites + Marketing and Managed WordPress WooCommerce customers to conduct their commerce transactions directly via GoDaddy. The firm’s new payments capability comes courtesy of technology and talent gained from its acquisition of Poynt last December.
“GoDaddy is hyper focused on empowering our customers to sell everywhere with a single solution in a seamlessly intuitive experience,” GoDaddy President of Commerce Osama Bedier said. “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.”
Bedier founded Poynt in 2013 to reimagine payment terminals into smart, connected devices that power third-party apps and solutions. The company offered a range of point-of-sale hardware and software solutions to facilitate payments, including the its Android-based smart POS terminals and its PoyntOS-powered, third party-terminals. Before being acquired, Poynt handled more than $16 billion in gross merchandise volume a year for its 100,000+ merchant clients.
With more than 20 million customers on its platform, GoDaddy enables individuals and organizations to build professional websites that help them attract customers, and sell their products and services. The company’s new payments offering will give GoDaddy’s ecommerce customers a fast and secure way to manage orders, payments, and refunds. The solution also leverages a single intuitive dashboard that enables customers to manage their payments operations alongside the rest of their other business operations. GoDaddy Payments accepts all major credit and debit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, and the company added that GoDaddy Payments would be available for use for in-person, offline shopping later this year, as well.
Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, GoDaddy is a public company with a market capitalization of $14 billion. It trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker GDDY.
