Bold Cashier is a powerful checkout solution that allows you to offer a unique checkout experience to your customers.
Bold Cashier uses its own processes to charge and capture your customer's orders. This allows it to be integrated with many of our other apps (including Bold Subscriptions), along with an entire suite of third-party applications.
1. Install Bold Cashier

8. Place a test order with Bold Cashier (recommended)
Because Bold Cashier has so many working parts, we highly recommend placing a test order through Bold Cashier to ensure that everything is working correctly. Test orders can be completed on a backup theme to avoid any storefront disruption.
It is important to enable Bold Cashier's development mode prior to placing a test order, which allows you to process test orders through a test payment gateway free of transaction fees.
Normal transaction fees will be applied to all orders that aren't processed through the test payment gateway.
