Objective

The purpose of this document is to describe the features supported by the Bolt platform using Annex Cloud’s Customer Loyalty module. Bolt is an authenticator plug-in which can be integrated with listed e-commerce platforms or custom e-commerce sites. Bolt helps to quickly sign-up/sign-in members and assists customers with the checkout process by remembering their password and demographic information along with their payment information.

Annex Cloud performs the integration with Bolt to help authorize customer sign-ins and identify customer loyalty status. Post authorization from Bolt, loyalty members will be able to perform loyalty activities on the e-commerce site.
