Production vs Sandbox Scripts

The only differences are to use the sandbox URL for Bolt’s connect script embedded on the site and the sandbox publishable key.

Sandbox Script

<script id="bolt-connect" type="text/javascript" src="https://connect-sandbox.bolt.com/connect-bigcommerce.js" data-publishable-key="{SANDBOX_PUBLISHABLE_KEY}" data-shopping-cart-id="BigCommerce"> </script>

        for (var i = 0; i < boltButtons.length; i++) {
            boltButtons[i].style.display = 'block';
        }
        originalCheckoutButton.style.display = 'none';
</script>-->

<!--<script>
    var config = { childList: true, subtree: true };
    var totalClassName = "previewCartCheckout-price";
    var totalPrice = "";
    var callback = function(mutationsList) {
        var elms = document.getElementsByClassName(totalClassName);
        if (elms.length == 0) {
            return;
        }
        var newPrice = elms[0].innerHTML;
        if (newPrice !== totalPrice && window.BoltCheckout) {
            window.BoltCheckout.reloadBigCommerceCart();
        }
        totalPrice = newPrice;
    };
    new MutationObserver(callback).observe(document.body, config);
</script>-->

Finally, save and apply all files and Bolt is temporarily disabled. To reenable Bolt, simply uncomment everything.
