About
Discount Codes enable merchants to run special deals their shoppers can take advantage of during certain seasons, events, or sign-up promotions.
The Bolt discounts feature does not expand upon platform native discount functionality. This means that if your platform only supports one native discount, enabling Discounts in Bolt Checkout will not change that. Bolt’s discount feature supports third party discounts applied by a shopper during checkout inside the Bolt Checkout modal. A shopper can typically apply one native platform discount and many (supported) third-party discounts. If you are unsure about the setup of your discounts, reach out to our support team for assistance.

Features
Single Discounts
Merchants can limit the number of discounts that can be applied to a given cart. This ensures discounts can’t be stacked to take advantage of items already on sale and helps prevent scenarios where the total balance owed on a cart is negative.
Multiple Discounts
Merchants can allow the application of multiple discounts to entice both returning and new shoppers to proceed with a checkout. Only cart platforms that innately support multiple discounts can leverage this functionality.
Use Case
A new shopper has signed up to your newsletter and received a $5 coupon via email. They would also like to take advantage of the current promotion displayed across your store where all orders over $100 can apply a coupon for free shipping. Enabling multiple discounts would encourage this shopper to proceed with checkout, knowing they don’t have to choose only one discount.

How to Enable Discount Codes within Bolt

- Navigate to Checkout > Configuration > Checkout UI.
- Select Display Discount Input next to Checkout Settings.

NOTE
Checkout totals that reach zero ($0.00) when a discount code or gift card is applied bypass Bolt’s fraud review analysis and are automatically approved.
Enable Discount Codes (Custom Cart)
- Provide Bolt with a dedicated URL for handling Bolt’s POST requests by contacting your Customer Support Representative.
- Ensure the given endpoint can respond with your list of discount codes, using the format provided in our Merchant Callback API reference.
Customizations
Button Text
Shoppers see a +DISCOUNT button by default in the checkout modal. This button can be customized to use alternative text, such as +PROMO or +USE GIFT CARD. To update button text, reach out to your Customer Success Manager.
Multiple Discounts
It is possible to allow customers to enter more than one discount at a time at checkout. Reach out to your Customer Success Manager to enable.
