The problem

One-click usually comes with someone else’s processing

When a merchant asks for one-click checkout, the best-known answers bring their own payments with them.

FAQ

Questions partners ask

Do merchants have to switch processors?

No. Bolt is the only payment agnostic wallet/one-click provider. Merchants keep their existing processor, or can use Bolt Payments.

How is Bolt different from Shop Pay and Stripe Link?

Shop Pay runs on Shopify Payments, including when it is added to another platform, and Stripe Link runs on Stripe. Bolt works with the merchant’s existing processor.

What is Tokenization as a Service?

Bolt recognizes the shopper and tokenizes the card, then the payment authorization is sent to the merchant’s existing processor. Processors can offer it to their merchants.

Is fraud protection available on our processing?

Yes. Total fraud indemnification is also available to third-party processors.

Does this work outside the US?
