You can use any debit or credit card when shopping on the Bolt Merchant Network. Once you've entered your payment information the first time, Bolt will remember your billing details. You do not need to re-enter card information, your shipping address or select the preferred card when using Bolt for future purchases.

Payment on Bolt is designed to be seamless and flexible, catering to a wide range of user preferences across different global markets. When you set up your account, you can link various cashless payment methods such as credit or debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Once a ride is completed, the app automatically charges the pre-selected card, eliminating the need for physical transactions. In many regions, Bolt also supports cash payments, where the rider pays the driver directly at the end of the trip; however, users should ensure they have the correct change. Additionally, Bolt offers a "Work Profile" feature that allows for direct billing to a company account for business travel. In 2026, Bolt has also expanded its "Bolt Balance" feature, allowing users to top up their accounts in advance. It is important to note that the final price includes the base fare, distance, and duration, along with any applicable tolls or surge pricing that was clearly displayed in the app before you confirmed the ride.
