The merchant must have their own storefront on supported platforms (e.g. on Shopify, BigCommerce, M2, SFCC) or be using a custom cart solution.
The merchant must use a supported processor (Stripe, Adyen, Braintree, CyberSource, Auth.net, and NMI)
The merchant must be operating in a supported region (US Only)
The merchant’s products must be sold as one-time purchases; subscriptions are not currently supported.

Implementing Checkout Everywhere on an ecommerce site

At a high level, each implementation of Checkout Everywhere requires completing all of the following:

Set up your product listings and product details page by sending a GET request to https://api.bolt.com/v1/products.
Create a unique Bolt order token to initiate the checkout process by sending a POST request to https://api.bolt.com/v1/remote_checkout/orders.
Trigger displaying Bolt Checkout using either the Webview URL or Checkout Modal.
- Webview URL: Great for in-app implementations.
- Checkout Modal: Great for web implementations.
Set up post-purchase workflows using Bolt’s Transaction and Order Webhooks.

Implementing Checkout Everywhere with Checkout Links
