Bolt Fee Types

This article covers the types of fees that Bolt merchants may be charged and how they work.

Fees are a highly individualized aspect of a merchant’s contract agreement that depend on many factors such as the payment processing stack and unique blend of features in your implementation.

Billing

For merchants using Bolt Payments, most fees are settled daily in your funding statements. One-time fees such as an integration fee will be invoiced via email.

For merchants using the gateway processing model, fees are invoiced monthly via email. Your merchant contract determines the period within which you must pay an outstanding invoice.

Fee Refunds

When you void or refund a transaction, Bolt may refund certain fees depending on your merchant contract agreement and where the transaction is in the authorization process.

Since most merchants' fee structures include a mixture of variable rates and fixed amounts, you might receive a partial refund of fees.
