Bolt and Palantir usher in new era of intelligent e-commerce at the checkout
Bolt, a leading checkout technology company, and Palantir Technologies Inc., a leading provider of AI software, today announced a strategic partnership to usher in a new era of intelligent ecommerce checkout—one that's personalized, dynamic and deeply informed by data. 0 Checkout 2.0, a self-learning, self-improving checkout, replaces today's static, form-based flows with an adaptive, real-time system that responds to each shopper's unique preferences, behaviors and context. Rather than displaying the same interface to every shopper, Checkout 2.0 delivers personalized flows that evolve with the user—prioritizing preferred payment methods, remembering prior selections and surfacing relevant information at just the right time. "Operational integration of Bolt and Palantir reduces friction for shoppers and complexity for merchants while providing a foundation to accelerate retail into the age of AI," said Ted Mabrey, Palantir's Global Head of Commercial. "This partnership brings together the scale and shopper intelligence of Bolt's platform with Palantir's proven decisioning systems to deliver superior outcomes across every transaction. Checkout 2.0 represents the best of both worlds—and the future of commerce personalization." Bolt will leverage Palantir's platform to help scale Checkout 2.0 across enterprise retailers and expand it within Bolt's recently launched SuperApp—an all-in-one finance and crypto hub that delivers real-time shopper signals. As both platforms evolve, Checkout 2.0 will bring deeper personalization and intelligence to every phase of the buying journey. "Our partnership with Palantir addresses one of the biggest challenges in modern commerce: turning mountains of shopper data into real-time, actionable intelligence," said Ryan Breslow, Founder & CEO of Bolt. "Together, we're tackling outdated, one-size-fits-all checkout experiences and replacing them with a smarter, more adaptive flow that actually responds to individual preferences and behavior. Merchants gain powerful optimization tools to improve conversion and payment efficiency, while shoppers benefit from a faster, more personalized journey. This is not just an upgrade—it's a reimagining of what online checkout can be." Over the last decade, Bolt has accumulated a wealth of intelligence regarding shopper behavior and preferences from its Universal Shopper Network of more than 80 million U.S. shoppers. Through this partnership, Bolt will integrate Palantir's advanced decisioning engine to dynamically adapt checkout flows and enable smarter, contextually aware logic. For example, a shopper who frequently buys beauty products on their mobile device and prefers Apple Pay will see a checkout flow that automatically prioritizes Apple Pay, highlights relevant upsells and surfaces loyalty features—without requiring them to re-enter information or navigate away. These adaptive experiences are designed to eliminate friction and boost conversion. Merchants will also benefit from intelligent post-checkout payment routing. Checkout 2.0 will evaluate transaction attributes—such as volume, category or geography—and select the optimal payment gateway to maximize authorization rates and reduce processing costs. This behind-the-scenes intelligence delivers better margins and a smoother experience. Checkout 2.0's architecture includes: Self-learning shopper profiles that adapt over time based on usage, behavior and purchase history. Dynamic payment method reordering based on shopper preferences and device. Post-checkout routing optimization to improve processing economics in real time. Native crypto payment support, reinforcing Bolt's commitment to flexibility and future-facing payment infrastructure.

Worldpay to offer Early Warning's Paze as a checkout option
Worldpay and Early Warning Services have announced a new partnership at Worldpay's annual client and partner event, Rethink, to enable Paze as a checkout option available to its merchants. 0 Paze is an online checkout solution developed by Early Warning Services that is offered by leading banks and credit unions in the U.S. The convenient Paze checkout experience enables consumers to pay online with their preferred credit and debit cards via added security through tokenization, and seamless digital authentication. 'At Worldpay, we're committed to giving merchants more choice and flexibility in how they serve today's digital-first consumers,' said Cindy Turner, chief product officer at Worldpay. 'By making new checkout options like Paze available to our merchants, we're making it easy for them to offer convenient checkout that boost conversion and customer confidence because they don't have to share card details directly.' Leading banks and credit unions enable Paze for their eligible cardholders, and cardholders do not need to sign up or download an additional app to use the checkout option where available. Recent research from Worldpay found that 68% of consumers selected a checkout method based on convenience and 48% abandoned a cart due to too many steps to complete checkout. 'Paze was created to meet the rising demand for a fast and convenient digital checkout,' said Eric Hoffman, chief partnerships officer, at Early Warning Services. 'Through this collaboration with Worldpay, we're making Paze instantly accessible to thousands of U.S. merchants, supporting our goal of nationwide coverage. This will bring added convenience and added security through tokenization to the 150 million consumers that already have access to Paze through their bank or credit union they already know and use.' Working together, Worldpay and Early Warning Services are bringing new levels of convenience and security to online checkout. Because purchases made using Paze utilize the network tokenization framework, the consumer's credentials are more secure than traditional manual entry and merchants can experience higher authorization rates. Seamless checkout can increase conversion rates by reducing the steps and friction to complete a purchase. Worldpay's vast merchant network in the U.S. using hosted payment pages will soon see Paze as a checkout option, and others will be able to 'turn on' Paze as a checkout option with limited integration needed.
