The synergistic partnership will further help our customers discover and purchase products from their favorite sellers with ease”,
Rajiv Sodhi, VP and MD0, GoDaddy India and Australia remarked, “With internet penetration at an all-time high in India, more small businesses are coming online to tap the huge ecommerce opportunity. Small businesses selling their products through the ecommerce platforms often get lost in the huge marketplace with thousands of listed sellers. We are delighted to announce this partnership with ShopClues to provide its merchants with an online address that represents their individual brand and is easy to identify for their customers. You can connect your domain name to an online marketplace and consolidate your online presence with your unique online address.”
To register for a new domain name, customers can visit Domains on GoDaddy. The customer gives GoDaddy the URL they would like to point their domain name to, during the checkout process, and GoDaddy takes care of the rest. For those who already have a domain name, GoDaddy enables customers to quickly connect their domain name to any website or blog or to other pages they control, like Facebook, LinkedIn or YouTube profile pages, the release said.
