Explanation:
whatis.techtarget.com › ... › Internet acronyms and lingo

On the Internet, bolt-on, perhaps inspired by 'add-on', is used to describe products and systems that can be quickly but securely attached to an existing Web site.

Bolt-on software is software that can be easily attached to a client project, for example, a website. The term “bolt-on” is similar to the term “plug-and-play” that is used to describe pieces of software that are easily integrated into other larger systems. Some might also call these “add-ons.”
