Magento 1
Bold Commerce provides a Magento 1 extension that equips merchants with a world-class checkout experience and enables them to maintain proper PCI compliance.
Adobe ended support for their Magento 1.x ecommerce platform on June 30, 2020. Since that date, Magento 1 merchants have been responsible for their own security and fraud compliance.
The Bold Checkout solution for Magento 1 enables merchants to maintain their PCI compliance while avoiding the pain and cost of re-platforming.
