GoDaddy Payments

When a customer makes a purchase on your online store or point-of-sale system with a credit or debit card or digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, the integrated payment processor verifies that the card details are accurate and the funds available for the purchase. If the transaction is approved, the funds are transferred from the customer’s card issuing bank into your bank account, typically within 1-2 days.

GoDaddy Payments is our built-in payment gateway for GoDaddy's commerce tools (Online Store, POS system, Invoicing, Pay Links, Tap to Pay on Commerce App, and Virtual Terminal). With GoDaddy Payments, you can take secure, debit and credit card payments on your website, in-person, over the phone and on the go, while managing all your orders and payments from a single dashboard.

You can get paid as soon as the next business day with GoDaddy Payments. And for a fee of 1.75%, you can also get paid on the same day, including weekends and holidays. Learn more about Same Day Payouts here.

With GoDaddy Payments, setup is quick, pricing is simple and transparent, and you can get paid as fast as the next business day. Payments and business data are kept secure with the strictest PCI compliance standards. GoDaddy Payments is integrated with our website solutions – including GoDaddy Airo - and our commerce and point-of-sale solutions.

Yes. You don't need a website to take fast, secure payments. You can use our Virtual Terminal, which transforms your mobile phone or computer into a credit card terminal to easily take over-the-phone orders. For on-the-go or in-person, contactless payments, you can use Pay Links to create shareable payment requests and send them directly to customers via social media, text or email. And, with one click, you can transform any pay link into a shareable, printable QR code for customers to quickly scan and pay.

With GoDaddy Payments, you have three ecommerce choices:

• Start building your online store for free with Websites + Marketing. You use GoDaddy Payments as your payment processor as part of the store setup. Once the store is set up, you can upgrade to a paid eCommerce plan to start selling and accepting payments on your website.
• If you wish to build an online store with WordPress, you can choose GoDaddy's Managed Hosting for WordPress with the WooCommerce plugin installed which has GoDaddy Payments as a built-in payments option.
• If you already have a WooCommerce online store you can add the GoDaddy Payments plugin.

• If you are building a new WooCommerce store, the best way to add GoDaddy Payments is to use our Managed Hosting for WordPress Ultimate plan and add the GoDaddy Payments plugin.
• If you have an existing WooCommerce store, the best way to use GoDaddy as your payments provider is to download and activate the GoDaddy Payments plugin.

If you have an existing WooCommerce store hosted by another provider, you can add payments processing by downloading and installing the GoDaddy Payments plugin from Wordpress.org.

With GoDaddy Payments, your customers can pay using all major credit and debit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, as well as HSA and FSA cards.
