Today, GoDaddy supports over 21 million entrepreneurs and 84 million domain names globally. And with the goal of helping every customer find that “just right” domain name, GoDaddy has partnered with Klarna to make purchasing from the domain aftermarket – a secondary market where a person can purchase domain names through registered bids or a negotiated price—and high-value domain names more accessible. Using Klarna, customers can “buy now, pay later,” splitting the cost of the domain name over several payments.  

For those selling domain names, all listings will automatically have the Klarna option available to buyers by default. And when a domain name is sold, sellers will be paid upfront in full, and the domain name will be transferred to the buyer. The “pay later” options will be on most aftermarket domain names. 

“Partnering with Klarna gives GoDaddy aftermarket customers more flexibility and financial control when it comes to buying domain names,” said Paul Nicks, President of Domain Registrars and Investors at GoDaddy. “As consumer ecommerce habits continue to rise, domain ‘real-estate’ will become more pivotal—particularly for customers needing the right domain name. The “buy now, pay later” option enables them to do so, and on their own terms.” 

Purchasing domain names on the aftermarket is only one piece of the relationship with Klarna. With over 32 million small businesses in the United States accounting for approximately 99.9% of all U.S. businesses, small businesses are critical to local economies and communities. GoDaddy provides a full suite of tools to empower everyday entrepreneurs. All are now available with added flexibility using Klarna’s alternative payments solutions, including its popular, interest-free ‘Pay in 4’ and ‘Pay in 3’ options, ‘Pay Now’ service, and more. 

Customers have Klarna’s suite of payment solutions across the U.S., Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Sweden and the U.K.
