Basic & Pro Reseller Help

How do API Reseller and Turnkey Reseller plans differ?

Learn about the differences between the API Reseller and Turnkey Reseller (Basic & Pro) plans.

API Reseller

Sell and manage domain and account APIs and grant your customers access to the Domain Control Center. This plan is recommended if you understand REST APIs and want to expand your business. Contact our GoDaddy Guides to purchase an API Reseller plan.

Turnkey (Basic & Pro) Reseller

Get access to a storefront and cart system through a white labeled experience that closely resembles GoDaddy. These plans are recommended if you want a ready-to-go reseller experience with no technical knowledge required. Learn more about the Reseller Program.
