Bolt Software
Overview
Bolt is a checkout-and-payments platform tailored for online stores that want to streamline the shopper experience and increase conversions. It replaces multi-step checkout flows with a unified “Bolt checkout” widget, while layering fraud detection and a network of returning-buyer data. With integrations for major platforms, Bolt offers a faster path to purchase and improved retention.
What Is the Bolt Software?
Bolt Software is a cloud-based checkout/commerce optimisation platform. Merchants install the Bolt widget or API, and shoppers get access to faster sign-in, one-click buying, and saved-payment info powered by the Bolt network. At the same time, merchants benefit from fraud chargeback guarantees, analytics, and conversion lifts. Pricing is usage-based (transactions) and/or custom depending on the merchant. (Bolt)
Key Features of Bolt Software
- One-click checkout widget with saved payment info for repeat buyers
- Fraud detection and chargeback guarantee built-in to protect merchants
- Conversion optimisation via checkout behaviour insights
- Merchant dashboard & analytics for measuring checkout performance
- Network reach: returning buyers across Bolt network (for participating merchants)

Who Should Use Bolt Software?
- Online retailers looking to simplify checkout and increase conversions.
- Brands experiencing high cart abandonment and checkout friction.
- Merchants who want built-in fraud prevention and chargeback protection.
- Growing e-commerce teams who want plug-and-play checkout improvement without re-building the flow.
It may be less ideal for very small stores with extremely low order volume (where the fixed costs or payable per-transaction model may weigh) or for businesses requiring a fully custom bespoke checkout UI (where a fully custom build might be better).
