Join the Go Daddy® Direct Affiliate Program and promote the Go Daddy products and services you love to your website visitors. It's incredibly easy! You can earn up to a 30 percent commission on most products and up to $105 on select products.

  • Create site banners, email, or social media through Go Daddy's easy-to-use Affiliate interface. Each time your site generates an order, it's tracked in your account.
  • An Affiliate cookie is valid for 45 days. If a website visitor clicks through an Affiliate link but does not make a purchase at that time, they can return up to 45 days later to make a purchase, and you still receive credit for the sale.
  • Go Daddy pays a commission on each individual shopper who clicks through an Affiliate link and completes a purchase. Both new and existing Go Daddy customers can make commission-eligible purchases.
  • Go Daddy holds the initial commission for 60 days from the purchase date.

Where do I sign up?

To get started, log in to our Affiliate Manager. It's that simple!

NOTE: If you aren't a Go Daddy customer yet, create an account with us first.

Setting up a Payee Account

To receive commission payments, you must setup a payout account. You can receive payments via PayPal®, Good As Gold, check payment, or direct deposit.

To Set up a Payee Account

  1. Log in to your Affiliate Manager.
  2. From the Settings tab, click Edit Payee Information.
  3. Select Create payee account, and specify your Account Name, Account Type.
  4. Select the payment type and complete the payout and tax information, and then click Save.

How do I get paid?

You can earn commissions once your payout account is set up. Orders are eligible for commission after 60 days. Refunded orders are not eligible for commission. All commission is paid on the first business day following the 15th of the month via PayPal, Good As Gold, or direct deposit.

  • PayPal — PayPal users receive commissions after they've earned $25. PayPal transaction fees aren't deducted from commissions.

    NOTE: If the payment amount exceeds $20,000 it will be split into two separate PayPal transactions.

  • Good As Gold — Good as Gold users receive commissions after they've earned $5.
  • Direct Deposit — Direct deposit users receive commissions after they've earned $10. Direct deposit transfers commission funds directly into your checking account.

    NOTE: Direct deposit is offered for Domestic Affiliates only.

  • Check Payments — Checking account users receive commissions after they've earned $100. We charge domestic affiliates a $25 processing fee for each paper commission check. There is no processing fee for International Affiliates.

    NOTE: Check payments are made at the end of each month.
