I have created a blog post explaining how to create a custom pay what you want checkout using FluentCart's new "Ghost Product" functionality. You can read it here.
Anyone have a best practice for setting up a single user profile (for users / customers / community members, not site admins -- front end, not back) that contains both FluentCommunity info and FluentCart purchases / downloads and so on? I have FluentCart Pro and FluentCRM Pro, and (for now, at least) the free version of FluentCommunity. I'm using the Bricks theme framework.
Thanks in advance!
I've noticed that there are some Dutch and Flemish people here in the group. My question is, does anybody know how and if FluentCart can be synchronized with the book keeping software Moneybird?
I don't need it to send invoices, I just need it so that new sales will be synchronized automatically without me having to manually upload pdf invoices/receipts
Where is this for the admin or client?????
Shahjahan Jewel 10 days ago you said the shortcodes for all components would arrive that same week, so when the latest update came, I looked to find the shortcodes, and see only a few...
Am I missing something? Where can I find the shortcodes of all components?
I'm using ACF's Flexible Content blocks on my site. When I chose the "builder" for the long content block and then "Show Content Editor" I can add those Flexible Content blocks.
However when I then go to the page on the frontend and view the item. The pricing block and the image are no there anymore at the top.
Is there some sort of shortcode I need to use to show that at the top of the page again?
Working on a new client site upgrade using FluentCart. They're launching the next product in a few days. But when testing the checkout today, I get an error. (From Stripe?)
What is this?
The cart has one fixed-price product + an optional bump-offer for a monthly subscription.
Possible to get this analysed/fixed before Sunday? If not, I will have to revert everything and have them go back to the old solution.
I’m using FluentCart for a membership with a staged pricing structure. The €59 startup fee (incl. 21% VAT) is intentionally used to lower the barrier to entry and make onboarding more accessible. After three months, the subscription continues at €19.95 per month.
However, in the current checkout I’m running into two fundamental issues:
1) Lack of clarity about future payments
The customer only sees what they pay today (€59). There is no clear indication of:
- When the next payment will take place (specific date), and
- How much they will pay then (€19.95 per month).
For a subscription product, this isn’t a minor UX detail — it’s essential. In the Netherlands (and more broadly in the EU), customers are expected to be clearly informed about future financial commitments.
Ideally, the order summary should explicitly show something like:
“Next payment on [date]: €19.95 per month.”
Right now, the customer has to infer this themselves, which is poor for trust, compliance, and conversion.
2) Incorrect VAT display
The checkout currently shows:
“NL Standard Tax (Inclusive) — €0.00”
That is factually incorrect, because the €59 does include 21% VAT. The display suggests no tax is being charged, which is misleading and inconsistent with how Dutch customers expect pricing to be presented.
Why this matters
With the current setup, FluentCart is effectively not usable for subscriptions in the Dutch market. It doesn’t just look unprofessional — it also fails to meet reasonable expectations around transparency for recurring payments.
I find it hard to believe this would be considered acceptable in other markets either, but perhaps I’m missing something.
Important note
I’ve already raised both of these issues with FluentCart support. Unfortunately, they indicated that a fix is not currently planned in the short term, which is why I’m bringing this to the community.
Questions for the community / developers:
- Is this a known limitation?
- Are there plans to improve subscription clarity in the checkout?
- Is there a clean workaround that doesn’t require heavy custom code?
Would appreciate hearing how others are handling this.
I have tested a new shop, but I can not delete the testorders. I get error that I can not delete them because they have 'paid' status.
Is it safe to remove the orders from the database? And what tables are effected?
Has anyone successfully created shipping rules based on cart totals?
This is what I'm trying to achieve:
£10 shipping for orders under £44.99
£5 shipping for orders under £79.99
Free shipping for orders over £80
