Bolt, the checkout and shopper network company, just took another step forward in its mission to democratize commerce with the acquisition of Tipser, the Swedish-based tech company that enables commerce on any digital platform.
Both Bolt and Tipser are designed to allow shoppers to check out immediately at the point of discovery and together, the technologies will serve to enhance Bolt’s Remote Checkout solution. Bolt will be building upon Tipser’s technology by leveraging its turn-key publisher marketplaces, touchless merchant integrations and headless implementation capabilities.
“Tipser and Bolt share the same goal of enabling checkout to take place anywhere,” said Ryan Breslow, founder and chief executive officer of Bolt. “Our acquisition of Tipser couldn’t be more synergistic for the future of remote checkout. Tipser has proven success in giving shoppers the opportunity to directly check out through inspirational content. By joining forces with Tipser, the sky’s the limit when it comes to unlocking the power of shopper identities to check out everywhere.”
The launch of Remote Checkout will combine the forces of Bolt SSO Commerce and Tipser’s technology. With this launch, publishers, who Bolt notes in a statement have struggled to build direct relationships with consumers, will be able to leverage Bolt’s one-click account
