This holiday season, a quiet revolution is unfolding in retail. Mobile commerce is helping retailers tackle the $100 billion burden of credit card processing fees that drive up consumer prices. By adopting direct payments and Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services, retailers are cutting costs, boosting margins, and empowering shoppers. The shift reduces reliance on credit cards, reshaping spending habits and reclaiming billions for the real economy.

The retail landscape is undergoing a seismic shift, driven by evolving consumer expectations and the relentless march of technology. As ecommerce continues to dominate, retailers are under immense pressure to deliver seamless, frictionless shopping experiences. Bolt, the leading checkout technology platform, is addressing this challenge head-on by launching its enterprise product on Salesforce AppExchange.

For over a century, department stores defined consumer culture. These grand emporiums were more than just places to buy goods—they were social hubs, windows into aspirational lifestyles, and symbols of urban progress. But the world has changed.

As we approach another Amazon Prime Day, it's easy to get caught up in the frenzy of deals and discounts. But for those of us in ecommerce, Prime Day represents something far more significant than a 48-hour shopping spree. It's a masterclass in data collection, customer engagement, and strategic planning that extends far beyond the sale itself.

Justin Grooms

CEO

In the rapidly evolving world of ecommerce, one principle has remained at the heart of everything we do at Bolt: our merchants' success is our success. As I reflect on my years at Bolt, I'm struck by how deeply this ethos has shaped our growth, our innovation, and the transformative results we're delivering for our retail partners.

Justin Grooms

CEO

The world of ecommerce is moving faster than ever, and retailers are facing immense pressure to deliver the seamless experiences that today's consumers demand. At Bolt, we understand this challenge because we live and breathe it every day. That's why I'm thrilled to announce the launch of our latest initiative—one that puts our merchant partners in the pilot's seat of the ecommerce rocketship.

Acquiring new customers remains one of the biggest costs in retail. Brands invest billions driving shoppers to their sites via advertising, influencers, affiliates, and other paid media. Yet the hard truth is that much of this traffic—over 95 percent in some channels—fails to convert once arriving on site.

Bolt Team

Bolt, a leading checkout technology company, and Checkout.com, a global payment solutions provider, today announced a partnership set to expedite their shared mission to advance ecommerce. Through this collaboration, Bolt will become Checkout.com's exclusive one-click checkout provider and Checkout.com will become Bolt's preferred payment partner.
