With
this move, GoDaddy stated in their press release
that they are "the
first company to seamlessly bundle payment
technology with the brand power of a professional
domain – at no additional cost – to help small
business owners start
growing from day one."
Payable Domains, powered by GoDaddy
Payments, use branded pay links
(incorporating the domain name) that the domain
owner can share, allowing the customer to access
their secure checkout page with one click.
For
example, if a person registers the domain of
their name or business, such as roohshad.co,
they will then receive the corresponding Payable
Domain, pay.roohshad.co,
to accept payments. Once that first payment is
received, domain owners can then link a bank account
to their GoDaddy Payments account, complete the
verification process, and receive payouts for
transactions just as they would with any other
payments service. Payments are securely processed
with funds deposited into users' bank accounts as
early as the next business day.
In
addition, small business owners can customize their
Payable Domain with a company logo, product images,
cost of their products or services, or other branded
content to create a seamless checkout experience and
maintain a personal and professional look.

President of Domains Paul Nicks noted,
"While there's been innovation around
add-on products for domain names, such as Domain
Privacy and Ownership Protection
services, not much has been done to enhance
the capability of domain names themselves.
Domains have largely been used as a digital
identity for businesses, but with this new
commerce capability we view the domain
name taking on a far more versatile role
for up-and-coming small businesses. The
Payable Domain ultimately serves as an
innovative and cost-effective tool for
entrepreneurs to accept online payments before
even setting up a website."
GoDaddy
President of Commerce Osama Bedier
added. "We're intensely focused on
building connected commerce solutions that
make growing a business easier, whether
you've just named your business or are in
the process of expanding its sales across
the country. With Payable Domains, it's
never been easier to start selling
online." |
