ShopClues & GoDaddy forges strategic partnership to enable merchants go online

GoDaddy and ShopClues have forged a partnership to help merchants conduct business online. Online marketplace ShopClues will assist and maintain the websites for the merchants while web hosting company GoDaddy will provide them with domain names.

Merchants will get a choice to pick out their website type as per their business and access the company’s technology and online payment and logistics services for a particular fee. The fee for such a service has not been disclosed by the company. It is expected that such value-added services will benefit merchants who want to create their individual presence online.
