New Dashboard Notice

Bolt has launched a new Merchant Dashboard experience. See this corresponding page for help documentation that reflects the Legacy Dashboard.

Please note that Legacy Dashboard documentation may no longer have up to date information on our newest features and releases.

Bolt Payments is the all-in-one payment solution to support all major card brands and get simplified reporting, reconciliation, settlement, and fee structures, without the need for ongoing technical and maintenance costs.

Before You Start

Contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) to inform them that you’d like to use Bolt Payments.

INFO

If you already use Stripe as a payment processor and would like to keep this relationship, Bolt may be able to integrate Stripe into our payments facilitation flow so you get the benefits of both our platforms. Speak to your CSM for more information.
