Release Changelog

The New

The New

Merchants using the Direct API or bespoke version of Bolt Accounts can now further customize their payment fields with new styling and argument options.

Styles

Bolt has added two new styling options:

• inputPaddingSize, which adjusts the spacing between input text and the border
• borderStyle, which customizes the border of input fields

Read more about customizing arguments in the Customize Payment Fields article.

Arguments

Bolt has added a new argument called showFieldMissingErrors, which shows or hides errors when the user visits a required field but leaves it empty.

Additionally, the expiryType field has a new option called separated-dropdown-numerical, which will display separate dropdowns for the month and year of a card expiration date.

Read more about customizing arguments in the Customize Payment Fields article.

The New

Shoppers of merchants using Bolt Accounts, who only have an email address associated with their Bolt Account, are now asked to enter and verify their phone number after they are correctly identified via their email address.

The New

Merchants using Authorize.net for payment processing can now offer Google Pay as an alternative payment method (APM). Google Pay for Authorize.net is currently available to participating Beta merchants.

Learn how to enable Google Pay with Bolt.

Bolt is seeking merchants to participate in an experiment optimizing checkout by moving the gift card fields to the payment step.

Why optimize the gift card placement?

• Our hypothesis is shoppers think about using gift cards during the payment step, not earlier.
• Presenting the opportunity to enter gift cards during the payment step reduces checkout complexity.
• Moving gift cards to the payment step clearly separates them from discounts, making it easier for customers to use them.
• Gift cards at the payment step is the industry standard for ecommerce.

Want to learn more? Contact your CSM or reach out to Bolt Support.

The New

We’ve updated the Bolt for BigCommerce plugin to optimize the order creation process behind the scenes.

Using BigCommerce’s new payment API:

• You can expect fewer order creation errors.
• Orders are always marked as “Captured." In previous versions, payments were occasionally left uncaptured.
• Orders created via Bolt will appear as created by BigCommerce in the dashboard and no longer display the device the shopper used to create the order.

Bolt has released a new Checkout Setting that allows shoppers to view their address as they checkout. Learn more about this new Checkout Setting in the Maps for Checkout article.

The New

Bolt has renamed our core products to promote ensure clarity and distinction between our primary offerings.

The Improved

Bolt is improving authorization rates by including the shopper’s IP address in our approval processes. This applies to both guest and logged-in shoppers.

About this Functionality

• The /v1/account/exists endpoint will create a record of the shopper’s valid email address and IP address. This data is retained only for the time strictly necessary to successfully authorize a transaction. It is then deleted from our servers. If you wish to use this particular functionality, this endpoint must be called from the browser.
• IPs are stored when a Shopper OAuth (login) session is created (either via our Authorization Modal or Auto Login component).
• The /v1/merchant/transactions/authorize endpoint will retrieve the shopper’s IP address using the email provided in the user_identifier field, if available.
• If you are using Adyen as your payment processor, Bolt will securely pass the Shopper’s IP directly to their service.

How to Implement

Most merchants have already set up their Accounts components to collect the needed information to implement this functionality. Check your configuration using the list below to ensure proper setup.

To implement this new functionality:

• When detecting shopper accounts, call the /v1/account/exists endpoint from the browser.
• Require shoppers to enter their emails during checkout, then pass that email value in an authentication call (using the Embedded API) to the user_identifier object as the email field.
• Provide OAuth tokens in the same authentication call.

The New

Simplify your dispute response workflow with Self-Service Disputes. You can manage and represent chargebacks by submitting evidence directly in the Merchant Dashboard.

Refer to our Self-Service Disputes Guide for more information.

The Improved

Bolt has removed the “Stay Logged In” Checkbox from all of our checkout modals and embedded account components. Instead, logged in sessions will be tracked and timed. Devices and browsers will remember a shopper’s active Bolt session for about 10 days.

Before

After

New

You can now add arbitrary or additional information to any of the accounts objects in either our Bolt or Embedded APIs using the Metadata field.

Metadata is a key-value pair object that can be added to addresses, payment methods, or the account profile. The metadata field is not read or used by Bolt, and thus can be used to attach information that is helpful for you and not necessary for interacting with Bolt.

Read more about this new field and see examples in our Embedded Metadata reference article. Or, you can see it in action in our Bolt or Embedded APIs.

• Verified device: After a shopper successfully authenticates via one-time passcode, this device is now verified and eligible for automatic login during checkout via device token.
• Unverified device: When a shopper creates a Bolt account during checkout, they do not have to complete authentication via one-time passcode, so this device is considered unverified. Logging in during checkout on another device forces logout on this unverified device to protect shoppers' personal data.

Announcement

Bolt is working on a new, API-based architecture and approach to our Magento 2 Plugin that takes advantage of Magento’s native APIs. This change will reduce the potential for bugs, improves our rate of feature development, and demands less frequent plugin upgrades.

This new plugin is expected to become available in 2022, and will be accompanied by a migration guide to help merchants switch plugins. More details will follow as the release date for this new plugin approaches.

If you are interested in participating in our Beta program for this plugin, please reach out to your Bolt representative.

The New

• Shoppers no longer switch between Magento Store accounts when Bolt SSO is enabled on a store using the Legacy plugin.

The Bug Fixes

• Resolved an issue where shoppers were unable to place an order when applying a fixed-amount discount towards their cart total due to how the discount impacted shipping calculations.
• Resolved an issue where discounts applied to a cart displayed a generic nondescrispt DISCOUNT tag when missing an associated description. This caused confusion when multiple discounts were applied. Now, discounts applied to a cart display their discount name as the tag. (e.g., BOGO2022)
• Resolved an issue where refund (credit) grand totals were mismatched when compared to order grand totals.

See this guide to update your plugin.

The New

Two new exciting features for checkout are now available!

Strikethrough Pricing

Currently available for Custom Carts and carts on Magento 2. Strikethrough Pricing newly allows merchants to show the original price of an item (MSRP) alongside the sale price.

Donations at Checkout

Currently available for Bolt Checkout on BigCommerce. Donations in Checkout allows shoppers to add a static amount or round up to an amount for donation at checkout.

The New

Bolt Accounts is now available with two product offerings to enable merchants to fully customize the checkout experience:

• Accounts: Detect and authenticate shoppers in the Bolt network during checkout.
• Embedded One-Click Checkout: For both logged-in and guest checkout, your shoppers will enjoy a one-click checkout experience. Now available on Adobe Commerce.

The Bug Fixes

• Fixed checkout issue where coupons with a Discount Amount of 0 (set in your Magento 2 dashboard) blocked the application of the discount in the payment step of the checkout flow.
  For example, coupons intended to grant free shipping to the shopper were not applied to the cart, as the discount amount was 0. Shoppers who applied this coupon saw a “Discount Not Applied” error message and needed to go back to previous steps to apply this discount.
  • Affected version: M2 2.23.0

The Bug Fixes

Updated the Bolt API cart.create endpoint to no longer block remote cart creation for items with qty of 1.

The New

• Updated order tracking logic in the M2 plugin to handle product identification more consistently for configurable products.
• Updated the M2’s product info endpoint to return catalog rule pricing that impacts the specified product to help ensure item pricing as initially displayed reflects the pricing within the checkout flow.

The New

• Simplified SSO Commerce enablement with new login and register pages.
• Added support for Magento v2.4.3.
• Added support for Route Shipping, a Checkout Integration that enables merchants to add Route directly from the Merchant Dashboard to Bolt Checkout without changing your theme or connect scripts of Bolt.
• Added support for multiple third-party module integrations:
  • Mageworx Rewards
  • Amasty Preorder
  • Imagination Media Teamwork Gift Cards
  • Teamworks Token
  • Teamworks Store Credit

The Improvements

• Aheadworks Giftcards
• MW_RewardPoints

The Bug Fixes

• Carts with a rule preventing discounts will no longer trigger a different discount to be applied to the cart.
