Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, with historical offices in Palo Alto, California, and international presence including Singapore, the company targets merchants in retail, hospitality, services, and e-commerce sectors globally through reseller partnerships and supports integration with multiple payment processors including Elavon and U.S. Bank-powered Poynt Payments. Founded prior to 2011 with roots in mobile payments innovation, Poynt operates as a subsidiary of GoDaddy following its 2021 acquisition for $320 million in cash plus $45 million in performance-based incentives, a transaction that integrated its Android-based point-of-sale hardware and PoyntOS software into GoDaddy's commerce ecosystem to enable seamless online-offline sales; recent developments feature ongoing partnerships such as Factor4 for gift card and loyalty integrations on Poynt devices and availability of advanced apps like Talech and Homebase for enhanced order processing, employee scheduling, and inventory control.
