Bolt overview

What is Bolt?

Bolt is a cloud-based, end-to-end checkout and payment processing solution, optimized for web and mobile eCommerce sites. Promising a streamlined and efficient model overlay, minimizing form fields and redirects, the Bolt checkout experience is claimed to yield sales boosts with a 10%-20% raise in checkout conversions. While eliminating friction and reducing shopping cart abandonment, Bolt also includes a built-in fraud detection engine promising 100% fraud coverage. Its application of machine learning and artificial intelligence facilitates the analysis of over 200 transaction variables to identify possible risks and approve genuine customers. Manual order reviews are eliminated, with Bolt committed to covering all fraud-related chargebacks.

Bolt Analytics then goes on to provide statistical business performance insights via its merchant dashboard. Here, users can track key metrics such as money savings, querying transaction records with search, sort and filtering tools. Transaction data and saved searches are exportable to CSV format, while a Virtual Terminal also handles payment acceptance. In addition, Bolt makes drop-in extensions available for achieving integration with many of the leading third party shopping cart platforms including Magento 1 & 2, BigCommerce, Drupal Commerce, Miva, PrestaShop, Shopify, Volusion and WooCommerce. Direct API access is also provided alongside documented developer support.
