“Can an app-store-native player turn 'checkout' into a platform-agnostic, agentic commerce layer that outlives any single storefront?”
Bold Commerce began in 2012 as the first app developer for Shopify, building a portfolio of merchant apps (subscriptions, upsells, discounts, memberships). Over the following decade it evolved into a headless checkout provider (Bold Checkout) serving enterprise omnichannel retailers and Shopify Plus merchants. More recently the company has positioned itself around 'Repeat Commerce' and agentic/AI-powered checkout — expanding beyond Shopify apps into an API-first checkout platform that plugs into multiple payment gateways and B2B payment rails.
Bold Commerce processes payments through Stripe, PayPal Complete Payments, Braintree, Authorize.net and Nuvei.
Bold Commerce's lending and capital products are provided by TreviPay.
Bold Commerce integrates with QuickBooks Online and Xero.
