And if you’re in a niche consumer industry, those challenges might require more specific or customizable solutions. 

However, GoDaddy recently launched a new, all-encompassing service specifically designed to meet the detailed needs of growing businesses. With GoDaddy’s Managed WooCommerce Store offering(Opens in a new window)(opens in a new tab), the days when online sellers spent hours managing a website are over.

You can sell across more platforms and save more money

From GoDaddy’s new platform you can easily sell in-person and across online marketplaces like Amazon, Walmart, Etsy, or eBay and social channels without downloading a single plugin, so you’ll always be right in front of your customers. Additionally, you can accept all major types of payments easily — including digital wallets like Apple Pay — thanks to GoDaddy Payments coming pre-enabled within the platform. Bonus: this new platform solution offers the lowest processing transaction fees(Opens in a new window)(opens in a new tab) compared to other leading providers, and there are no hidden setup fees or long-term contracts to worry about.
