What is the Online Ordering channel?

Online Ordering lets you create a simplified online order experience for your in-person customers through GoDaddy Payments – no additional website or inventory management required. Easily create an online storefront where your customers can create online orders to pick up in your store. All you need is GoDaddy Payments and a GoDaddy smart terminal to get set up.

Note: To set up an Online Ordering page, you’ll need a GoDaddy smart terminal and the Point of Sale Plus plan, which includes a range of additional features such as lower transaction fees, unlimited SKUs and inventory management on your POS device, and more.

Can I automatically activate Online Ordering only during my store hours?

Yes. You can configure your store hours in the Online Ordering settings so that customers can only place online orders when your store is open. You can also manually turn online orders on/off for days when your store is on a different schedule (like holidays).

Where can I find my customers' orders?

An alert will appear on the smart terminal to notify you whenever a customer places a new pickup order. (You can manage your notification preferences in the Online Ordering channel settings.)

To see all pickup orders, tap Orders on your smart terminal home menu and change the Types field to Pickup. You can now review and fulfill your store's pickup orders.

All orders created this way will also appear in your standard GoDaddy Payments reports.

Can I customize my Online Ordering page?
