FluentCart Reviews ⭐

My first project for Fluentcart, for the past 2 weeks I have been working on this, since I am using fluentcart.

FluentCart Mpaddi-Style Reviews is a modern, mobile-first customer review system designed specifically for FluentCart-powered eCommerce stores. Inspired by the engaging and highly visual review experience, this plugin transforms traditional product reviews into an interactive, and conversion-focused component.

It enables customers to leave detailed feedback with star ratings, while giving store owners powerful moderation tools and real-time insights through a REST API-driven architecture.
