đł Payment Options, School Orders & Tax Exemption
đŠ What payment types can I use at checkout?
You can choose from the following options during checkout:
- Credit Card
- PayPal
- School/University Purchase Order
- Prepaid Check
Thereâs also a field to enter a coupon code if you have one.
Note: We rarely offer coupon codes because our everyday prices are already among the lowest online. If we do run a promo, itâs usually for high-value items like jackets or workwearânot for bulk orders of budget-friendly items (which are already deeply discounted).
Be cautious of random websites claiming to offer Bolt Printing promo codesâtheyâre often fake. When in doubt, contact us.
â Why isnât my credit card working?
If your credit card is declined, the most common causes are:
-
Incorrect card details (number, expiration date, sec code), billing address, or ZIP code
Make sure the address entered matches the one on file with your credit card provider. -
Insufficient funds or daily spending limits
Some cards (especially debit cards) have daily caps or restrictions on online purchases. -
Bank security or fraud prevention
Your bank may block the transaction if it's flagged as unusual activity. You may need to contact your bank to approve the charge.
Still having trouble? You can continue your order by selecting School/University Purchase Order and typing "Send Secure Link" in the PO fieldâweâll email you a secure payment link during business hours.
đ Can my school or university place an order using a Purchase Order (PO)?
Yes! We offer net payment terms for accredited schools and universities.
At checkout:
- Choose âSchool/University Purchase Orderâ
-
Enter your PO Number
- Donât have it yet? Type: âWill Provide Laterâ
Weâll process your order and follow up with any questions.
đŹ What if Iâm having trouble completing payment?
If you're having trouble completing payment (e.g., credit card not working or unsure which method to use), here's a workaround:
Choose: âSchool/University Purchase Orderâ
Then type: âSend Secure Linkâ in the PO field
We'll email you a secure link during business hours so you can finish the order safely.
