Less than one year after GoDaddy launched its Smart Terminal Point-of-Sale (POS) system in Fall 2021, the device has been recognized as one of the best products of 2022 in one of the largest design competitions in the world by winning the highly acclaimed Red Dot Award: Product Design 2022. The Product Design Award specifically honors products that showcase creative and innovative design backed with superior functionality and performance. 

In search of good design and innovation, the Red Dot Jury, comprised of roughly 50 international experts from different specialty areas, assesses the design quality of thousands of entries to determine which will receive the coveted Red Dot distinction. The Jury tests, discusses and evaluates each product individually, keeping a close eye on the level of innovation, functionality, and projected longevity of each product.  

Designed by Bould Design in partnership with GoDaddy, the Smart Terminal was created to suit the needs of all small businesses, with an ergonomically sophisticated design that doesn’t sacrifice on functionality. Equipped with two displays, a thermal printer, as well as a barcode scanner and a magnetic stripe and chip reader, Smart Terminal supports all major credit and debit cards, as well as contactless payments like Apple Pay and Google Pay.  

Business owners can also customize the smaller consumer-facing display screen with their business logo or showcase a promotional image. GoDaddy’s Smart Terminal fully integrates with GoDaddy online stores, including WooCommerce, to unify in-person and online sales in one place, and unlock enhanced customer shopping experiences like ‘buy online, pick up in-store.’   

With the “Red Dot” recognized around the world as a sought-after symbol of exceptional innovation, GoDaddy Smart Terminal underscores the company’s commitment to helping entrepreneurs grow their business and sets a tone for the high bar consumers can expect from GoDaddy’s commerce products in the future.
