Go
Daddy Enhances Online Payment Options Through the Addition
of PayPal Payment Services [November 10, 2004]
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (November 10, 2004)
– The Go Daddy Group, Inc., parent company of
No. 1 domain name registrar GoDaddy.com, announced today
that customers now have the option of purchasing the
products and services of Go Daddy’s complete Web
development catalog using PayPal’s global online
payment service.
Go Daddy’s decision to become
a PayPal merchant augments the Company’s current
secure credit card and online check payment options
with PayPal’s unique “online wallet”
flexibility. The PayPal option provides Go Daddy customers
the ability to pay through the one-stop PayPal system
which incorporates credit cards, bank accounts or a
stored PayPal account balance. The addition of PayPal
also enables Go Daddy to accept five different currencies—a
benefit for Go Daddy’s increasingly global customer
base.
“PayPal offers customers worldwide
a safe payment solution through an existing financial
infrastructure, an attribute that is important to Go
Daddy,” said Bob Parsons, president and founder
of The Go Daddy Group. “We are excited to offer
this payment advantage to our worldwide customer base
and expect incremental growth in sales due to the wide
acceptance and trust PayPal users have in their system.”
Go Daddy also has included PayPal in
its e-commerce storefront building product, providing
Go Daddy customers the ability to offer the PayPal payment
option on their Web sites.
“Go Daddy and PayPal are both
dedicated to helping businesses move online quickly,
easily and securely,” said Stephanie Tilenius,
vice president of merchant services for PayPal. “We’re
happy to work with Go Daddy to provide a convenient
payment option and expedite the whole process of getting
up and running on the Internet.”
