I'm not sure whether this is a bug or expected behavior. I'm doing a test on a client site and made a purchase. I entered the full name and email address in the checkout modal.

In FluentCart, the name field says what I entered on the Shipping and Billing address in Orders. However, the actual name in Customers, and also in FluentCRM, is the name associated with the email account. I used one of my emails where the name is Test Customer. That's what appears in FluentCRM and FluentCart.

The only place the other name appears that I entered during checkout is as I said Shipping & Billing addresses.

I have a video of this issue and I'll open a ticket with FluentCart support to verify if this should be the case or not. Just thought I'd drop it here, too.

Year one was about getting the core right. Payments, tax, multi-currency, migrators, builders. 44 releases.

Year two has a clear focus: make FluentCart the best way to run a physical store on WordPress, and give you more built-in tools to sell more.

The first piece is almost ready. We’re bringing Shippo to FluentCart, our first live shipping integration, launching soon as a beta.

What it does

• Live carrier rates at checkout: USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL Express, Royal Mail, Canada Post, Australia Post and more
• Your customers pick their carrier
• Buy labels from the order screen, with your preferred carrier or the cheapest rate already selected
• Your own methods stay: flat rate and local pickup work like they do today
• Shipping status hooks for developers and agencies

To make room for it, we rebuilt the shipping module. That also brings split shipments and shipping rates in multiple currencies.

Why Shippo first? It has a proper test mode, so we can run the full loop (quote, buy a label, check, repeat) without spending real postage. And US stores get discounted USPS, UPS, and FedEx rates from day one.

What’s next: more shipping integrations, built-in marketing tools to help you sell more, and more design options. I’ll share each one here as it lands.

Is there a way to add custom fields to the product page using ACF or SCF?

I couldn’t find an option for this. I’ve already created custom fields using SCF, but they aren’t showing up on the product page.

Is there a way to display these fields on the product page? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm using FluentCart with Stripe to sell a recurring subscription.

During testing, I discovered that a customer who already has an active subscription can purchase the exact same subscription product again, using the same WordPress account.

I tested this successfully, and FluentCart allowed two active subscriptions for the same customer and product.

Is there a native FluentCart setting to prevent this?

I would like customers with an active subscription to be blocked from purchasing the same subscription again, to avoid duplicate recurring charges.

Is this expected behavior, a known issue, or something that requires custom development?

Thanks for your help!

When we have 2 options like box colors (example red and blue) and then within that I have various card colors like black and gray then if I make the first option in card color ie black from the red box inactive then the entire red box shows grayed out. This happens if I only make inactive the first choice.Also being able to reorder values in options would be great.

Hi all, I'm getting an error when clicking on the download link provided on the fluentCart email after purchase. It redirects me to a 404 page. However, the links works perfeclty on the the download page, the problem is with the link provided on the email. Can anybody please help. Thank you.

I built this website using Static Cart and the AI Builder instructions I have developed while working on it I think is the first Headless FluentCart Integration.

If I say so myself I think I built it the right way there where some changes along the way, each store is able to handle multiple static sites, a Human, or AI can build for it.

In this video I set about proving it feeding it some instructions and the plugin and asking it to build and map and give me instructions for making the products and mapping them. I think an MCP could do this in future.

The instructions used and the two output instructions and mappings are available here https://gist.github.com/stingray82/cb1968f890b0223328da0a1db194667a for those that are interested. You can read more about the why's the building here https://techarticles.co.uk/static-cart-building-an-ecommerce-engine-for-static-sites-with-fluentcart/

I hope you enjoy it and it makes others wonder what is possible for FluentCart and headless e-commerce

Thanks for watching and please let me know what you think

Halloween is close, and a FluentCart store can join in without a new checkout. Show shoppers how close they are to a treat, then unlock it when they reach the goal. The same idea works after Halloween: a spend amount, a number of items, or a product you want in the cart.

CartCubes Trick-or-Treat for FluentCart is a free addon. It adds a bar to the cart drawer and to checkout. Before the goal, shoppers see how close they are. When they reach it, the message changes to the treat.

A few ways to use it:

• Halloween. Run it through 1 November, on the days you choose, with the illustrated banner or your own images.
• Spend goal. Show how much is left until a cart subtotal, such as $50, then offer a coupon you already created in FluentCart.
• Quantity goal. Ask for 2 items in the cart, then unlock the treat.
• Product goal. Pick one or more products, or a specific variation. The goal is met when any of them is in the cart.
• Any other date. Set a start and end date and time, limit it to weekdays, and show it to everyone, logged-in customers, or guests.

The treat can be a message only, or it can apply that FluentCart coupon for them. The code stays hidden until the goal is met, and shoppers can click it to copy it. If the cart drops below the goal, the coupon comes off.

The look can be the Halloween banner or a simple card that matches FluentCart. You can also place the bar on any page with [cartcubes_trick_or_treat]. The shortcode shows the bar and never applies the coupon.

It is free. Details and screenshots: https://cartcubes.com/fluentcart/trick-or-treat/

Hi,

maybe I am missing a setting somewhere but it seems the minicart has no keyboard handling. So when you navigate to the minicart element via keyboard:

- Pressing ESC does not close the drawer (only click on the backdrop)
- when the drawer opens, focus is not moved into it.
- when you click outside, focus is not returned to the button that opened it

This matters for WCAG and the EU Accessibility Act.
I’m currently working around it with a keydown listener calling window.fluentCartCart.closeModal(), but I think this should be in core.

Also - the mini cart button does nothing when the cart is empty. It seems that the cart element is not rendered until an item is placed into the cart. would be nice to have the option to show the cart even if it is empty. when you click the icon you expect something to happen (even if it just shows a "cart empty" message)

best,
Stefan

I'm confused because there are Stripe fees, SureCart (Launch plan) fees, subscription fees, etc. Does anyone have specific experience and comparation with this—how much does each one charge?
