Use this guide to install the Bolt integration for Volusion.

Prerequisites

• Volusion v1 (v2 not supported)
• The Generic API must be enabled
• This must be a full Volusion account (not a trial account)
• Your Volusion plan must support sFTP and the Volusion API
• If you are migrating from a different cart platform, see the Re-platforming section.

How to Install

Step 1: Upload Plugin

1. Contact your Customer Success Manager to download the plugin.
2. Open the vspfiles/bolt/config.asp file in a text editor.
   • Enter your configuration parameters
   • Enter the API keys provided by Bolt
   • Enter the Volusion API credentials
3. Save.
4. Open an sFTP client.
   • Use your Volusion Admin credentials
   • Connect to port 2222
5. In sFTP, navigate to your store’s vspfiles folder.
6. From the text editor, copy the vspfiles folder to the root folder in the directory structure of your store. This overwrites the existing content.

Step 2: Update Meta Tags

1. Log in to Volusion Admin.
2. Navigate to MARKETING > SEO > Search Engine Optimization.
3. Add the following to the Globally Appended Meta Tags field:

{
 "codes": [
 {
 "code": "<script id=\"bolt-connect\" type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"https://connect.bolt.com/connect.js\" data-publishable-key=\"<publishable key from Bolt Merchant Dashboard>\">\n</script>\n<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"/v/vspfiles/bolt/js/bolt.js.asp\"></script>\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"/v/vspfiles/bolt/css/bolt.css.asp\">\n<script id=\"bolt-track\" type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"https://connect-sandbox.com/track.js\" data-publishable-key=\"<publishable key from Bolt Merchant Dashboard>\">\n</script>",
 "language": "javascript",
 "name": null
 }
 ]
}

4. In a separate browser tab, log in to the Bolt Merchant Dashboard.
5. Navigate to Developer > API > Keys.
6. Copy your API Key.
7. Return to your Volusion Admin tab and fill the publishable key field with your Bolt API Key. The publishable key is a long string of lower and upper case letters and numbers that consists of three sections.

Update bolt-connect and bolt-track urls to the following accordingly if you are doing integration to sandbox environment:

• https://connec-sandbox.bolt.com/connect.js
• https://connect-sandbox.bolt.com/track.js

8. Save.
9. Open the URL: [store_url]/v/vspfiles/bolt/install.asp

You should get a success message confirming Bolt’s installation.

Step 3: Configure Webhooks

1. Log in to the Bolt Merchant Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Administration > API.
3. Navigate to Merchant Callbacks.
4. Set Webhook URL to the following:
   • [store_url]/v/vspfiles/bolt/order-update.asp
5. Set the Shipping and Tax URL to the following:
   • [store_url]/v/vspfiles/bolt/shipping-and-tax.asp

Your Bolt Volusion Plugin is now installed and configured!

Review Order Statuses & Platform Operations

You can review Volusion order statuses and platform operations in our Platform Operations guide.

Re-platforming

When re-platforming, you must keep in mind all of the following:

• Use the Merchant Dashboard for order refunds. Do not use a platform-specific backoffice flow that’s connected to a deprecated account division.
• Disable all of your old webhooks for the deprecated account division.
