The procedure is as follows: 

  1. Go to the directory app/etc/modules
  2. Locate Bolt_Boltpay.xml and open it.
  3. Locate the following code:
<config>
 <modules>
   <Bolt_Boltpay>
     <active>true</active>
     <codePool>community</codePool>
     <depends>
       <Mage_Sales/>
       <Mage_Checkout/>
     </depends>
   </Bolt_Boltpay>
 </modules>
</config>

    from: 
           <active>true</active>
    to:
           <active>false</active>

Disabling on BigCommerce

Warning — For BigCommerce merchants, Bolt strongly recommends that you only disable and do not uninstall the Bolt plugin. Due to the unique configuration with BigCommerce Bolt requires that the plugin remain installed so that refunds may be synced and processed. Having Bolt installed will not have any negative impact on merchants or shoppers, nor will it have any effect on storefront code or operations.

The proper procedure to disable Bolt within BigCommerce is to comment out the Bolt scripts within the HTML files.

To disable native Bolt integration 

  1. Log in to Bigcommerce. 
  2. Navigate to Store Front > Payments > Online Payment Methods.
  3. Toggle the Bolt radio button.

To disable legacy Bolt integration (Check Payments):

  1. Log in to the BigCommerse dashboard
  2. Go to Storefront > My Themes > Advanced > Edit Theme Files
  3. For each of the following:
    1. templates > components > cart > preview.html
    2. templates > components > common > cart-preview.html
    3. templates > components > products > add-to-cart.html
    4. templates > pages > cart.html
  4. Comment out the script tags that were added to the theme, as shown below:
<!--<script
  id="bolt-connect"
  type="text/javascript"
  src="https://connect.bolt.com/connect-bigcommerce.js"
  data-publishable-key="gQ8isqpsUR6A.Wr413Y6dCpc5.14736a46de3aa31b19c2e603317d68cd340698e21469e452fda30444094c39b9"
  data-shopping-cart-id="BigCommerce">
</script>-->

<!--<script>
    var originalCheckoutButton = document.querySelector(".previewCartCheckout .button.button--primary");
    var boltButtons = document.getElementsByClassName("bolt-button-wrapper");
        for (var i = 0; i < boltButtons.length; i++) {
            boltButtons[i].style.display = 'block';
        }
        originalCheckoutButton.style.display = 'none';
</script>

<script>
    var config = { childList: true, subtree: true };
    var totalClassName = "previewCartCheckout-price";
    var totalPrice = "";
    var callback = function(mutationsList) {
        var elms = document.getElementsByClassName(totalClassName);
        if (elms.length == 0) {
            return;
        }
        var newPrice = elms[0].innerHTML;
        if (newPrice !== totalPrice && window.BoltCheckout) {
            window.BoltCheckout.reloadBigCommerceCart();
        }
        totalPrice = newPrice;
    };
    new MutationObserver(callback).observe(document.body, config);
</script>-->
  • Finally, save and apply all files and Bolt is temporarily disabled. To reenable Bolt, simply uncomment everything.

Uninstalling on BigCommerce 

The proper procedure to disable Bolt within BigCommerce is to delete the Bolt scripts within the HTML files.

To uninstall from BigCommerce:

  1. Follow the steps for disabling shown above, except instead of commenting out the code, simply remove it.
  2. Also, make sure to remove the bolt checkout button <div> in each of the four files. Prior to removal, they will appear in the  files as shown below:
    <div class="bolt-button-wrapper" style="display:none">
    <div class="bolt-checkout-button bolt-multi-step-checkout"></div>
    </div>
  3. See this page and remove the scripts added to hide any unnecessary messages on the order confirmation page. Bolt uses the Check as a gateway to complete an order. Therefore when a user completes a checkout, the checkout confirmation page displays Check information like this:ScreenShot2019-02-08at1.33.03PM.png
  4. Go to Theme Editor → templates → pages → order-confirmation.html, and remove the following script from the bottom of the page:
<script>
    setInterval(function() {
        var tags = document.getElementsByClassName("orderConfirmation-section");
        for (var i = 0; i < tags.length; i++) {
            var elm = tags[i];
            var txt = elm.innerText || elm.innerHTML;
            if (txt.includes("pay by check")) {
                elm.style.display = 'none';
            }
        }
    }, 200);
</script>
  1. Check the following places:
    • Theme Editor, templates > pages > checkout.html and templates > layout > base.html
    • Storefront > Footer Scripts
    • Advanced Settings > Web Analytics > Google Analytics and Site Verification Tags
  2. In those locations remove:
<style>
    label[for="radio-cheque"] {
        display: none !important;
    }
</style>

or

<style>
    div#uniform-checkout_provider_checkout_cheque {
        display: none;
    }
    label.ProviderNamecheckout_cheque {
        display: none;
    }
    label.ProviderNamecheckout_cheque + br {
        display: none;
    }
</style>

or anything similar. If we used Stripe instead of the Check method as the payment gateway then the CSS will look slightly different, but it should still be similar enough to be easily recognizable.

  1. Go to Storefront > Footer Scripts and Advanced Settings > Web Analytics → Google Analytics.
  2. Remove the track.js script. 
<script
  id="bolt-track"
  type="text/javascript"
  src="https://connect.bolt.com/track.js"
  data-publishable-key="{PUBLISHABLE_KEY}"
  data-shopping-cart-id="BigCommerce">
</script>
  1. Undo the changes to made to the email templates. Go to BigCommerce Admin > Storefront > Email Templates.
  2. Expand the +Snippets folder.
  3. Go to these two templates:
    • InvoicePendingPaymentDetails.html
    • InvoicePendingPaymentNotice.html
  4. For each template click on edit → html:
    ScreenShot2019-02-08at3.19.48PM.png

     

     

  5. Comment out the entire html template, update, and save: ScreenShot2019-02-08at3.20.06PM.png

  6. If you are using Stripe gateway, Do the same as above for OrderNoPaymentTaken.html

      {% for p in i.properties %}
          {% if p.first == 'shipping_interval_frequency' %}
              {% assign cart_has_subscription_item = true %}
          {% endif %}
      {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}  
{% if has_gift_card %}
	{% assign bolt-checkout-placeholder-style = 'style="display:none;"' %}
	{% assign shopify-checkout-placeholder-style = '' %}	
{% elsif using_bold and is_mixed_cart %}
	{% assign bolt-checkout-placeholder-style = 'style="display:none;"' %}
	{% assign shopify-checkout-placeholder-style = '' %}
{% elsif using_recharge and cart_has_subscription_item %}
