Check your GoDaddy Payments account status
Check for any displayed alerts in your Dashboard for info about your GoDaddy Payments account and any tasks you need to complete. You’ll also receive periodic email messages indicating, for example, that your account info is verified, additional documentation is needed, or that you need to link a bank account.
- Go to the Dashboard where you manage your Payments account (use your GoDaddy username and password).
- Beneath the page header, look for a message or banner alert.
| What you see on the page | How it relates to your account status |
|---|---|
| The Dashboard displays as expected. | No action is currently required from you. |
| “You’ve got money waiting! Verify your identity and add your banking information to get your payouts deposited.” This messaging may vary slightly as the deadline to complete the payout process approaches. |
Customers have paid you for something using GoDaddy Payments. You still need to complete the setup process and link a bank account to receive the funds.
Note: We recommend completing the one-time setup process before you fulfill any orders. If we’re unable to verify your business info, money could be refunded back to your customers — so it’s a good idea to take care of that first.
