Hello FluentCart team!

To make FluentCart a viable and highly adopted e-commerce solution in Brazil, integrating with our local shipping providers is absolutely crucial. In Brazil, standard flat rates or table rates rarely work due to the country's continental size; we depend heavily on dynamic API calculations.

For reference, here are the most popular shipping solutions currently used in the WooCommerce Brazilian ecosystem. Having native integrationsβ€”or at least a clear API/Documentation to build custom shipping methods for theseβ€”would be a game-changer:

1. Correios (Direct Integration) Correios is our national postal service and the absolute baseline for any Brazilian store.

  • Reference Plugin: Claudio Sanches - Correios for WooCommerce. This is the open-source community standard. It connects directly to the Correios API to calculate "PAC" (Standard) and "SEDEX" (Express) rates, both with and without corporate contracts.

2. Melhor Envio (Shipping Gateway)

  • Melhor Envio is a massive shipping broker in Brazil. Instead of store owners negotiating individual contracts with multiple carriers, Melhor Envio offers pre-negotiated, cheaper rates connecting Correios and several private carriers (like Jadlog, Azul Cargo, etc.) in a single API.

3. Frenet (Shipping Gateway)

  • Frenet is another robust shipping gateway, highly valued for its stability. Its biggest differential is the "offline contingency" systemβ€”if a carrier's API goes down, Frenet uses a backup table to keep calculating rates at checkout without losing the sale.

4. Kangu (Mercado Libre Group) - High Priority

  • I want to put a special emphasis on Kangu. Kangu is a rapidly growing logistics network and shipping gateway that was officially acquired by Mercado Livre (Mercado Libre).
  • Why this matters: This means Kangu belongs to the exact same holding group as Mercado Pago. Since Mercado Pago is already a standard payment gateway for LATAM, pairing it with Kangu creates a powerful, unified ecosystem for merchants. Kangu offers incredibly competitive shipping rates by leveraging Mercado Libre's massive proprietary logistics network and drop-off points, alongside traditional carriers. Integrating Kangu would instantly make FluentCart highly attractive to Brazilian sellers.

Would love to know if the team plans to build native integrations for any of these, or if there is documentation available for us developers to start building custom shipping method add-ons for FluentCart!

How can I change the email that is sent when an account is created after purchase?

when working with products, it would be usefull if we can access the WP media library.
Especially when migrating from other wp shoppingcarts. Media are allready available in the library, it makes no sense that we can not access this . Maybe a tab below 'local'?

I'm working on implementing FluentCart on my band's web site to sell merch and our music. The first product will be a download of our album and I was wondering a few things:

1- Is it possible to change the folder where downloadable assets are stored via a filter or hook as it doesn't seem to be an option in the UI.

2- I'm asking #1 because it seems that the album file is directly accessible if someone types the exact URL as the file is not protected at all and it seems the normal htaccess rules one would use to protect a directory have no effects in the uploads folder.

If this is not possible, please consider this a feature request. Ideally, a shop's downloadable assets should live in a non publicly accessible folder on the server.

3- Is there a ways to support storage sources other than AWS or local. DropBox or pCloud would be ideal for us or Bunny CDN. Local is not secure at this point and I do not want to use AWS.

Any guidance on this would be much appreciated.

Thank you very much!

How can I delete a customer in FluentCart? I`ve been testing new integration (payment system) and got into point were I cant delete nor customer (deleted in wp users), nor demo products.

Hello all,

Have any of you develop a addon for fluentcart that allow the shop owner to add custom taxes as processing fees? e.g if I want to pass down the stripe fees to the end customers?

Even better if is integrated with Stripe to retrieve the taxes based on regions and method of payment from stripe itself.

it would be great if we could disable cancelation option for x payments.

Use case: when I setup a website for a client, we agree that he stays for a minimum of 12 months. For this comittment, I can give him a specific price. But I want it to be imposible for him to cancel the subscription before those 12 months are passed. He can cancel only from month 13 or beyond.

Hi, I have a launch where people will sign up for three months, charged each month. Is there a way to auto renew them for another three months? And/or is there a way to offer them the option to renew for another three months, go yearly or go monthly?

Suggestions welcome! Thanks!

When bulk-importing digital products from woocommerce, what column does the digital asset files belong? In the sample import file, there is no column for this field

Just realized, that again blocks with V2 API are present in Gutenberg:

0 {name: 'fluent-cart/media-carousel-loop', apiVersion: 2} 1 : {name: 'fluent-cart/media-carousel-product-image', apiVersion: 2} 2 : {name: 'fluent-cart/media-carousel-controls', apiVersion: 2} 3 : {name: 'fluent-cart/media-carousel-pagination', apiVersion: 2}

This hinders the iframe loading of the GB editor and especially with Etch, it displays the content wrongly. Please make sure, that you always use V3 blocks and please fix this in Fluent Cart - thanks in advance!
