Solidus SSO Commerce is in Limited Release and only available to a select number of Bolt merchants at this time.

Solidus is a highly flexible, extensible, open-source ecommerce platform developed as a gem for use within a Ruby on Rails application. It is free to download and use. With Solidus you can collect payments, manage product inventory and ship orders like any other ecommerce platform.

Bolt’s Embedded SSO Commerce integration with Solidus connects existing storefront customer accounts with a Bolt account, allowing shoppers to quickly check out using a one-click, passwordless login flow. This simplified account creation process makes checkout easy for customers and leads to more account creation for merchants.
