    This is my first use of Cart2Cart migration process and this company is awesome! My company managed lots of migration manually before trying C2C and actually we love them. Support is the best ever (thank all!) and service is A +++.

    Absolute BEST! Very inexpensive (was quoted $1500 from another design company, compared to only $140), lightning fast speed with their responses, knowledgeable, and of course saved me a ton of quality time I don’t have. Will be using them again for an additional website.

    Used Cart2Cart to migrate https://www.tesland.com. Ideal saves you a ton of time. Even have the option to do it multiple times so you can set up the new site with the correct data in it. And then before you go live with the new site, you can import the latest data again.

    GoDaddy Monthly Pulse: The SMB Champion Solidifies Its Foundation

    This month, GoDaddy's e-commerce evolution tells a clear story: a strategic doubling-down on its core small and medium-sized business (SMB) audience. While competitors chase enterprise headlines, GoDaddy is reinforcing its position as the preeminent launchpad for entrepreneurs. The platform's recent trajectory is not one of disruptive pivots but of deliberate, foundational enhancements designed to lower barriers to entry, simplify growth, and build trust from the first sale to the thousandth. Our analysis reveals a company focused on arming its merchants with smarter, more integrated tools for a competitive digital marketplace.

    The SMB E-commerce Vanguard: Gauging GoDaddy's Market Footprint

    Recent data from industry trackers continues to affirm GoDaddy's dominance in the entry-level e-commerce sector. While not challenging the enterprise market share of platforms like Shopify Plus, GoDaddy's Websites + Marketing suite now powers an estimated 18% of all newly registered U.S. small business e-commerce sites, according to a recent analysis of hosting and domain data. This metric is critical; it signifies that GoDaddy is capturing merchants at the most crucial stage of their lifecycle—the very beginning. The strategic implication is a vast, built-in funnel for its payment processing and marketing services, creating a powerful, sticky ecosystem that grows alongside its users' businesses.

    Fortifying the Foundation: A Focus on Core Commerce Performance

    Merchant success is directly tied to site performance, and this month GoDaddy rolled out a significant, albeit under-the-radar, infrastructure update. The platform completed a phased enhancement of its image processing and delivery network, resulting in an average 12% improvement in Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) times for product-heavy pages. For the typical GoDaddy merchant, this is not just a technical metric; it is a direct boost to conversion rates and SEO rankings. By automating these complex optimizations, GoDaddy removes a technical burden from small business owners, allowing them to focus on product and customers rather than image compression algorithms.

    Expanding the Toolkit: The Growing Power of Integration

    The maturation of an e-commerce platform is often measured by the strength of its app ecosystem. This month, GoDaddy deepened its integration capabilities by launching a certified connector for Klaviyo, a leading marketing automation platform. While basic email integrations existed, this new, deeper connection allows for sophisticated segmentation and triggered campaigns based on specific customer purchase behavior within the GoDaddy store. This is a pivotal move, providing growing merchants with enterprise-grade marketing tools without the need for custom development. It signals GoDaddy's commitment to providing a clear upgrade path for businesses scaling beyond simple email newsletters.

    Generative AI Takes Center Stage: The New Instant Video Creator

    The flagship feature release for the month is undoubtedly the integration of a generative AI-powered Instant Video Creator into the GoDaddy Studio. This tool allows merchants to upload product images and, with a single click, generate short, professional-looking promotional videos formatted for social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. For a time-strapped entrepreneur, creating compelling video content is a major hurdle. By embedding this capability directly into the platform, GoDaddy is not just offering a tool; it is democratizing video marketing and solving a critical pain point that directly impacts a merchant's ability to drive traffic and engagement.

    Building Digital Trust: Enhancements in Payment Security

    Trust is the currency of e-commerce, and GoDaddy has bolstered its defenses with an update to the fraud detection algorithms within GoDaddy Payments. The new system leverages machine learning to more accurately identify high-risk transactions in real-time, significantly reducing the potential for chargebacks—a major concern for small businesses operating on thin margins. This enhancement, combined with its existing PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance, provides merchants with a secure, reliable, and integrated payment solution that builds consumer confidence and protects their bottom line without requiring any additional configuration.

    Beyond Borders: Simplifying International Sales for Small Businesses

    GoDaddy has taken a notable step in simplifying cross-border commerce for its U.S.-based merchants by announcing a strategic partnership with a global logistics provider. This integration now provides real-time, landed-cost calculations at checkout for shipments to Canada, the UK, and Australia. This means international customers see the full cost, including duties and taxes, upfront, which dramatically reduces cart abandonment and customer service inquiries. It's a practical, impactful update that opens up lucrative international markets that were previously too complex for many small operators to navigate.

    From Side Hustle to Scale: Analyzing a Signature Merchant Success Story

    While GoDaddy doesn't often land legacy enterprise brands, its true strength is exemplified by the rapid growth of digitally native brands like "The Gilded Petal," a specialty home decor business. Starting as a one-person operation, the company recently surpassed seven figures in annual revenue, all while remaining on the GoDaddy platform. Their journey highlights the core value proposition: GoDaddy provided an all-in-one solution that handled the website, domain, payments, and marketing from day one. This integrated simplicity allowed the founder to focus on product sourcing and brand building, not on piecing together disparate technologies. Their success is a case study in why GoDaddy's unified ecosystem is a winning formula for the next generation of entrepreneurs.
