As a merchant, you can import any existing order and chargeback data you have collected directly into Bolt. Doing this adds an extra layer of intelligence to our risk models by allows us to understand your typical shopper’s behavior.
Chargeback data is typically only available through your payment processor. Use the following links to learn how to export this information as a CSV file:
Order data is rich with information unique to your store that is not captured by your payment processor. Use the following links to learn how to export order data from your chosen platform as a CSV file:
After you have extracted both your chargeback data and your cart platform’s order data, you can upload the two datasets separately or merge both datasets into one CSV.
Merge the two datasets using your unique reference in the CSV. For example, you can use a vlookup or index match formula to link a chargeback with your general transactions export with your unique reference, indicating which transactions have a chargeback in the has_chargeback column, 0 being false, and 1 being true.
You can also use the chargeback_reason column and specify which transactions had a chargeback reason – as long as one column with chargeback information is included in the csv file, the upload will be successful.
If uploading chargeback data and order data separately, ensure that both datasets include the common unique order_id so that we may merge them on your behalf.
Use the following table to format your merged dataset as a CSV file that is compatible with Bolt. The six columns that are required are as follows and must be named as they appear (including underscores):
If you are unable to convert your order history into a CSV format, contact your Customer Success Manager.
