This page is being updated for the current Merchant Dashboard.
Checkout Settings are available to most merchants who use Bolt Checkout. If you don’t see these settings available in your dashboard, contact your Customer Success Manager to discuss availability for your specific implementation.
Merchants can define and preview their checkout modal experience using configurations found in the Checkout Settings page of the Bolt Merchant Dashboard.
The Configuration tab also holds your checkout logo, shipping destinations, and fees. See Related settings.
