Install Bold Booster on Adobe Commerce (Magento 2)

Bold Booster is an extension that makes it easy for merchants to access a diverse lineup of payment solutions, including Fastlane (US only), Venmo (coming soon, US only), Pay Later, and other payment options customers prefer. Bold Booster seamlessly integrates with your existing checkout, so you can retain all your current customizations without any disruption or additional costs.

The following video walks through an example Bold Booster installation.

Overview

Setup​

To set up Bold Booster on your Adobe Commerce (formerly Magento 2) store, complete the following steps.

Step 1: Configure security settings​

Configure your security settings so Bold can communicate with your store.

Your store setup might have firewalls in place that restrict incoming and outgoing network traffic, allowing only a predefined set of IP addresses. For Bold's integrations to function, Bold domains must be able to make requests to your application. This means you must add specific domains or IP addresses to your allowlist.

  1. Add the following domains to your allowlist:
    • https://api.boldcommerce.com
    • https://checkout.boldcommerce.com
  2. Add the following IP addresses to your allowlist:
    • 34.118.185.130
    • 34.152.35.117
    • 35.234.253.95
    • 35.234.240.214
    • 34.152.62.195
    • 35.203.83.169
    • 34.95.4.134
    • 35.203.123.95
    • 35.203.41.15
    • 35.203.111.218
    • 35.203.12.94
    • 34.152.48.9
    • 35.203.70.90
    • 34.152.57.79
    • 34.152.40.169
    • 35.203.98.49
    • 35.234.243.147
    • 34.118.146.188
    • 34.152.1.134
    • 34.152.7.136
    • 35.234.248.107
    • 35.234.247.246
    • 35.203.50.156
    • 34.95.47.124
    • 35.203.8.162
    • 35.203.89.99
    • 35.203.5.164
    • 34.95.58.196
    • 35.203.82.91
    • 35.234.246.9
    • 35.203.57.139
    • 35.203.27.123
    • 34.152.60.211
    • 35.203.79.153
  3. If your security system filters traffic based on headers, add the User-Agent header with a value of Bold-API to your allowlist.

For more information about allowlisting and Bold's security configuration requirements, refer to the security concepts overview.

Step 2: Install Bold Booster​

Bold recommends installing using Composer for the easiest experience. However, you can also install the files manually.

  1. Open your terminal and navigate to your Adobe Commerce/Magento project directory.
  2. Run the following Composer command to install Bold Booster: 
    composer require bold-commerce/module-checkout-payment-booster
  3. Enable the extension using the following commands: 
    php bin/magento setup:di:compile
    php bin/magento setup:upgrade
  4. If you're using a 2.3.x version of Adobe Commerce, apply the following patch so Bold's content security policy (CSP) works correctly with your store: 
    patch < vendor/bold-commerce/module-checkout-payment-booster/patches/CSP-PAYMENT-BOOSTER_2.3.x.patch
    If you're not sure what Adobe Commerce version you have, follow Adobe Commerce's documentation to find out.

Walkthrough

Customer experience: Existing PayPal customer with a Fastlane profile

When the customer enters a PayPal associated email in the checkout, they receive a verification code by text which they can then enter into the checkout. Once validated, the checkout is automatically populated with their saved shipping, billing, and payment information. From here, they can either complete the order, or they can adjust their checkout information.

Existing customer screenshot

Customer experience: Customer without a Fastlane profile or PayPal-associated email address

When the customer proceeds to the checkout, they enter their email address, shipping information, and payment information as usual. If the customer consents to save their payment profile with Fastlane (enabled by default) on the payment information page, a Fastlane profile is automatically created once they complete their order. Customers can also manually disable Fastlane account consent if they do not wish to save a Fastlane profile.

note

Fastlane opt-in is only displayed to customers located in the United States.
