Custom Payments lets you choose how money moves: keep your existing processor through Bolt’s gateway, use Bolt as payment facilitator, or mix methods as you scale.

​
Who this is for

Merchants and developers who need flexible payment routing, multiple processors, or alternative payment methods without replacing the rest of the Bolt stack.

​
How it works

  1. Choose Bolt Payments (Bolt as facilitator) or payment gateway (keep your PSP).
  2. Connect processors and APMs in the Merchant Dashboard.
  3. Bolt routes transactions and surfaces unified reporting where configured.
  4. Add fraud review, subscriptions, or network checkout on top of your payment model.
