• GoDaddy releases Smart Terminal Pro for streamlined checkout • High-performance POS device for large product catalogs • Accepts tap-to-pay and digital wallets • Built-in AI capabilities for product management • Aligns in-store inventory with GoDaddy Online Store • Supports large retail sales, nearly 84% of total US retail sales • Reduces wait times for happier shoppers • Designed for busy holiday shopping season • Helps retailers with product organization and updates

GoDaddy, a leading provider of digital services for small businesses, has unveiled its latest innovation in point-of-sale (POS) technology with the launch of the Smart Terminal Pro. This high-performance device is designed to enhance checkout efficiency and inventory management for retailers, especially during the busy holiday season.

The Smart Terminal Pro addresses the growing need for streamlined checkout processes, which have become increasingly important as in-store sales continue to dominate the retail landscape. According to a recent report, in-store sales represented nearly 84% of total U.S. retail sales in the first quarter of 2025 [1]. The new device aims to reduce wait times and align in-store inventory with the GoDaddy Online Store, resolving the common issue of products being "available online but out of stock in store."

Key features of the Smart Terminal Pro include a 10.1-inch landscape screen that displays 50% more items than previous GoDaddy POS devices. The screen also swivels 180 degrees, allowing customers to review their orders, add tips, and sign off in one motion. The device incorporates AI-driven catalog creation tools, which enable businesses to bulk import entire product catalogs and update inventory seamlessly. Additionally, GoDaddy Airo® can turn a single photo of a menu or product into a full product listing with pre-written descriptions, expediting the creation process.

The Smart Terminal Pro is part of GoDaddy's comprehensive lineup of POS devices, which includes the portable Smart Terminal Flex for on-the-go sellers, the Smart Terminal Duo for those who prefer dual screens, and the Pro for businesses with large product catalogs. Each device accepts tap-to-pay and digital wallets and includes built-in AI capabilities for product management.

GoDaddy President of Commerce, Kasturi Mudulodu, commented, "Retail business owners are tired of cobbling together hardware just to keep lines moving. Smart Terminal Pro delivers large-company polish with an AI-driven catalog creation and real-time inventory sync, so local shops can operate with big-box chain efficiency, without big-box complexity."

The introduction of the Smart Terminal Pro underscores GoDaddy's commitment to empowering small businesses with cutting-edge technology. By providing a seamless and efficient checkout experience, the device aims to enhance customer satisfaction and drive sales during the critical holiday shopping season.
