eradicating the use of external POS hardware. GoDaddy joins the likes of Wix

Based on our data, more than half of all in-store purchases are now 
contactless, making it a favorite way for consumers to make payments 
in-store, said Osama Bedier, President of GoDaddy Commerce. 

Many of our US customers already have an iPhone. By adding Tap to Pay on 
iPhone to the GoDaddy Mobile App, we will enable millions of small businesses 
to accept in-person payments without having to purchase additional hardware. 
That matters in this climate. Its part of GoDaddys mission to put merchants 
first by making user-friendly, connected commerce tools accessible to all 
businesses, no matter their size. 

In a company blog post , GoDaddy claims that Apple does not store card 
numbers on the device or on Apple servers, and GoDaddy implements advanced 
encryption designed to safeguard users' data. 

Transactions through the GoDaddy Mobile App are powered by GoDaddy Payments, 
which comes with transaction fees of 2.3% + 0 cents per in-person 
transaction. 

GoDaddy is yet to comment on expanding the offering to users outside of the 
US. We've also featured the best mobile card payment readers
