There are two ways to integrate with Bolt: via platform plugin installation, or via Bolt’s Direct API for custom cart platforms. Use the following sections to quickly begin setting up your store with Bolt Checkout.

Step 1: Define a Production Readiness Plan

Bolt recommends putting together a production readiness plan to define all critical features, tasks, and testing that must be complete before launching Bolt Checkout to your production environment.

Step 2: Set Up Your Processor

Check out Bolt’s supported payment processors.

Step 3: Install a Bolt Plugin

Plugin setup typically consists of uploading a Bolt cartridge or module within your storefront’s admin console and adding your API Keys from the Bolt Merchant Dashboard.

Plugins are updated and enhanced on a regular basis and are fully supported by Bolt. If Bolt has a plugin for your platform, then using the plugin is the best way to integrate Bolt Checkout for your site.
