Your customers face daily challenges and frustrations, but buying from your online store shouldn't be one of them. With one-click checkout, they can skip entering billing, shipping, and payment info every time, streamlining their experience and boosting your conversion rates and revenue. In this blog, we’ll explore everything you need to know about one-click checkout: from how to offer it and how it works to the technology’s key benefits for your business ⚡️ Featuring expert insights from our Senior Sales Manager, Brian Foley, and Kal Raman, President of Bolt 👇

Anonymous shoppers represent a significant road block in retailers' marketing effectiveness. Why? These advertising dollars are wasted driving low-intent traffic to their sites, only for these would-be customers to convert at rates as low as 2%. Hear from our President Kal Raman on how customer recognition powered by Bolt's network of 80M shoppers can optimize performance marketing—leading to soaring conversion along the way:

Another day, another enterprise-grade partnership: I'm thrilled to share that Bolt has partnered with Checkout.com. Bolt is differentiated not only in the scale of our shopper network—featuring 80M shoppers in the largest API-based network in the US—but in our approach to ecommerce. We don't force merchants to use every aspect of our leading technology stack. Instead, they can pick and choose the pieces that work best for their business—all while keeping their own branding front and center. This partnership with Checkout.com expands our payment-agnostic approach and will help unlock big wins for more ecommerce brands. With Checkout.com becoming Bolt's preferred payment partner and our product serving as Checkout.com's exclusive one-click checkout provider, we're joining forces to innovate a better, more merchant-friendly model for the biggest online retailers. This is yet another exciting piece of momentum in our mission to usher in the industry's future—a future that promises to be defined by merchant flexibility and friction-free experiences for shoppers.

Enterprise retailers need these three things to thrive in what remains a challenging and ever-changing ecommerce landscape: 1. An extensive shopper network Even household-name merchants need a shopper network that works across brands. Today, their current shopper and payments information is fragmented and stale. In order to offer customers a truly friction-free buying experience to boost conversion and revenue, retailers need access to millions of shoppers—not just their own. 2. Platform and technology flexibility Legacy migrations are too expensive and too slow-moving for the biggest brands. Instead, they need to be able to keep their existing payments and ecommerce stack and plug-and-play different aspects of checkout technology that fit their unique business needs. Rapid integration and easy-to-validate A/B testing reign supreme. 3. Brand equity To build trust and loyalty among shoppers, merchants need to keep their brand front and center—not that of a tech provider or an alternative payment method. Bolt has pioneered an enterprise-ready, payment-agnostic product—paired with a shopper network of 80M US shoppers—that allows retailers to retain their look and feel while improving conversion at every touchpoint of the customer journey.
