Bolt now works on Shopify.
If you run a Shopify brand, you can add Bolt's one-click checkout without replatforming or changing your storefront.
Why it matters:
→ Higher conversion. Over 100 million US shoppers already have a Bolt account, so they check out in one click, even on their first visit to your store. Bolt account holders convert 50% better than guest shoppers, and we guarantee a 10–20% conversion rate lift.
→ Lower cost. Bolt cuts payment fees by over 50% for many merchants.
→ Your customers stay yours. You keep each shopper's name, email and order history.
How to install it:
1. Create an app in your Shopify admin and grant it six Admin API scopes: read and write orders, read and write draft orders, read products, read discounts.
2. Install the Bolt scripts on an unpublished copy of your theme.
3. Add the Bolt button to your cart.
4. Place a test order before a single customer sees it.
Bolt runs on Shopify through Managed Checkout, our hosted checkout.

A lot of your holiday checkout traffic will be people who have never bought from you.
Your loyalty program doesn't know them. Your saved-card vault doesn't know them. So they type an address and a card number on a phone, and a lot of them stop.
Bolt may already know them.
Over 100 million US shoppers are in Bolt's one-click network. When one of them reaches your checkout, even on a first visit, we recognize them and fill in shipping and payment. One click.
REVOLVE measured what that's worth: a 10% lift in checkout conversion and 4% higher revenue.
And you don't rip anything out. You keep your platform and the processor you run today.

In the 2023 holiday season, FWRD ran an A/B test on its mobile checkout.
November to December. Real holiday traffic. Its existing checkout against Bolt.
Result: a 9.92% lift in conversion.
What I like about that number is how it was earned:
→ A live A/B test during peak season, not a before-and-after chart.
→ FWRD kept its stack and its existing payment processor.
→ It took a single engineer a few weeks.
The lift comes from recognition. When a shopper Bolt already knows reaches checkout, we fill in their shipping and payment and they pay in one click. On a phone, that is the difference between an order and a closed tab.
If you're planning next year's checkout roadmap this month, test it the way FWRD did.

2.9% + $0.30 sounds reasonable, right? But your actual number all-in: 7%.
7% seems to be the going-rate for allowing startups to operate. It’s the rate to get access to investors via an accelerator. It’s also become the rate to simply transact.
Here’s the math taken from a real-world example:
Real company example doing $250,000 / month with $25 average ticket size.
Card processing fees
- 2.9% = $7,250
- 30¢ × 10K charges = $3,000
- Intl/FX surcharges = $1,500
$11,750 all-in, 4.7% effective rate
Disputes: $3,000
200 a month (2% dispute rate) at $15
14% win rate so $4,300 more in revenue claws back
Billing/Subscriptions Platform Fee:
$1,750 (0.7% of every recurring charge)
Other:
$250
Total: $16,750/month.
That’s OVER $200,000 PER YEAR IN FEES.
Interchange is what every processor needs to pay their underlying bank and card networks. This is typically 2%.
So… the processor's profit margin: 71% (or 5% on an absolute basis)
Bolt's profit margin is only about 1% on an absolute basis. That’s an 80% reduction.
100% off of billing fees (it’s free)
100% of fees returned on refunds
66.6% off of chargeback fees
~60% off of the payment margin.

I am thrilled to share that we've promoted @HaydenMcternan to @Bolt's VP of Sales. Many Bolters will recognize his name as Hayden was one of our pivotal AEs who took us from $1m to $40m ARR. Hayden left upon my departure and rejoined on my return. Perhaps the best sales leader I've worked with, he is a warrior, hyper-intelligent, and able to find the win-win in every deal. Bolt will be a powerhouse once again under his leadership ⚡️💪

Did you know that your payment processor keeps their fees whenever you issue refunds? Switch to Bolt, and have your fees returned on refunds.
