Add Bolt Checkout to a Volusion v1 storefront by deploying the Bolt plugin to your store’s vspfiles folder over sFTP.
Only Volusion v1 is supported. Your account must have the Generic API enabled and be a full (non-trial) account on a plan that supports sFTP.

​
Prerequisites

  • Bolt merchant account with API keys
  • Volusion v1 with the Generic API enabled (full, non-trial account)
  • The Bolt plugin from your Customer Success Manager
  • An sFTP client using your Volusion Admin credentials on port 2222

​
Upload the plugin

  1. Get the plugin from your CSM and edit vspfiles/bolt/config.asp with your Bolt API keys and Volusion API credentials.
  2. Connect over sFTP (port 2222) and upload the vspfiles folder into your store root, overwriting existing content.
Expected result: the Bolt files are present under vspfiles/bolt/.

​
Update meta tags

  1. In Volusion Admin > Marketing > SEO, add the Bolt connect/track script and CSS snippet to Globally Appended Meta Tags, then insert your Bolt publishable key.
  2. For sandbox, switch the connect and track script URLs to their sandbox variants.
  3. Save, then open [store_url]/v/vspfiles/bolt/install.asp to confirm the success message.
Expected result: install.asp reports a successful install.

​
Configure webhooks

In your Merchant Dashboard, go to Administration > API > Merchant Callbacks and set:
  • Webhook URL: [store_url]/v/vspfiles/bolt/order-update.asp
  • Shipping and Tax URL: [store_url]/v/vspfiles/bolt/shipping-and-tax.asp

​
Production checklist

  • Switch the connect and track script URLs back to production
  • Use production API keys and dashboard
  • Confirm install.asp success on the production store

​
Troubleshooting

  • Install not confirmed: reopen [store_url]/v/vspfiles/bolt/install.asp and check for the success message.
  • sFTP connection fails: use port 2222 with your Volusion Admin credentials.
  • Not supported on Volusion v2: confirm you are on v1 with the Generic API enabled.
