No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    It’s hard to know where to start when reviewing Bolt. We have been using them for over a year now and have seen an increase in sales due to the ease that our customers have in checking out. In our experience, we found the default WooCommerce checkout to be clunky and frustrating for our customers. After switching to Bolt our customers get an “Amazon-like” checkout process, speed, and efficiency. Plus, Bolt’s checkout modal is mobile optimized. They are constantly looking to improve and it shows. There’s seems to be a new feature update that’s driven by hard data all the time! Also, should anything go wrong Bolt’s support team is there to help in a polite and friendly manner. I would highly recommend considering switching to Bolt as your checkout partner!

    Dumb move by WooCommerce to email all of their users about this “fantastic” new plugin. If you don’t sell more than $5m annually there is nothing here for you and installing this plugin will immediately break your standard checkout!!!

    Plugin only works with websites that have over one million dollar in sales. Nowhere do they say that on their website, WooCommerce or here in the plugin details.

    Don’t use if you are starting out. You have to be a millionair to use this plug in. SMH…..If you broke, keep shopping around.

    We use Bolt on our new site and had instant cart optimization with very little work. This was lacking from the standard checkout and this really increased the experience to the point that customers were placing orders again online easily. Super fast implementation and great product support. The dashboard is far better than what we expected and account management has been very good. We will certainly use Bolt on our second website as well to make it easy for our existing customers to transact there too. Fraud is no longer an issue and we have eliminated any international concerns because of the quick load time and interface.

    We came across Bolt while looking for a solution to our growing fraud problem. They promised to not only eliminate fraud for good but also increase our conversion rate by simplifying the checkout process. This sounded too good to be true but fortunately for us, it was all they promised and more! Their team is extremely responsive and helped guide us through the integration process. Our shipping model is very complex and utilizes a few different plugins but Bolt found a way to make it all work together seamlessly. I couldn’t recommend Bolt highly enough!
