Bring your WooCommerce store to FluentCart - 1.6.2 is here! π
This is the one we've been building towards. If you've been following the last few releases, you know we shipped the subscription engine in 1.6.0 and said migration was coming. Well, here it is.
FluentCart now migrates your entire WooCommerce store. Products, orders, customers, coupons, tax rates, and yes - even WooCommerce Subscriptions. Everything comes over with history intact.
This isn't a half-baked import. Your order numbers stay the same. Stripe payment intents and PayPal transaction IDs carry over. Refunds, line items, tax breakdowns, shipping, order notes - all of it. Variable products become advanced variations with a shared attribute library. Grouped products and WC Product Bundles become FluentCart bundles. Categories keep their hierarchy.
Subscriptions were the hard part. WooCommerce Subscriptions bills from the store, not the gateway. So migrated subscriptions land on FluentCart's store-managed billing with their status, interval, amounts, trial, and all dates intact. If a customer has a saved Stripe card, auto-charging continues from FluentCart on the next due date. Everyone else gets invoice-based renewals with the payment link flow. Nobody's renewal falls into a gap.
You can run the whole thing from the wizard inside FluentCart, or use WP-CLI for large stores. It's resumable, re-runnable, and safe to test on staging first. Let me know which migrator you want next in the comments.
But that's not all in this release.
- Data Export. You can now export Orders, Customers, Subscriptions, and Licenses directly from any list screen. CSV with column picker, or JSON with related data included. Filter first, export what you need. No more workarounds for getting data out.
- Transaction Settlement Times. Transactions now show the payment provider's own settlement time for Stripe, PayPal, Mollie, Paddle, and Authorize.net. Your admin finally lines up with your bank statement.
- Order Sources got smarter. The Order Sources report now accepts the same advanced filters as the Orders table - filter by product, customer, country, coupon, UTM fields. Plus ad click identifiers from Google, Microsoft, and Facebook are now captured separately and shown on the order's UTM card.
More good stuff:
- Inventory screen is way faster now - handles thousands of variants without breaking a sweat
- License renewals and reactivation from customer profile
- Stripe checkout recovers cleanly from failed card/3D Secure steps (no more stuck checkouts)
- Duplicate order-paid emails fixed
- Mollie shows only the right payment methods on subscription checkouts
- Tons of storefront, admin, and payment fixes
- Security hardening across core and pro
How to get the Migrator:
It's a separate plugin so we can iterate fast. Grab it here: https://addons-cdn.fluentcart.com/fluent-cart-migrator.zip or install it from FluentCart > Settings > Features & Addons. Also available on GitHub.

I'm really proud of this one. The team has been pushing hard, and this release is a milestone for FluentCart. If you've been thinking about moving from WooCommerce, the door is wide open now.
Update us and let us know how it goes. If you need any help with migration, please get in touch with support; we would love to help you to migrate to FluentCart.
More Ninja awesomeness!!
Congrats for this almighty work!
All we need now to move my client forward is product customization. He sells welding caps, and people like to add monograms or something similar.
SureCart, warm up, youβre going in!
Amazing update! π Really impressive how much can now be migrated from WooCommerce while keeping the full history intact.
The one missed opportunity, in my opinion, would have been to introduce product tags at the same time, so those could also be carried over as part of the migration. For many WooCommerce stores, tags are an important part of product organization and filtering.
Still, a fantastic update overall! π
Sander W.Β 100% agree with this, we have many woo clients using product tags "The one missed opportunity, in my opinion, would have been to introduce product tags at the same time, so those could also be carried over as part of the migration. For many WooCommerce stores, tags are an important part of product organization and filtering." Shahjahan JewelΒ any plan about this ?
Super impressive, amazing progress πππ
Woocommerce migration!?!? These Fluent updates are faster than my business is, I just can't keep up to benefit from all the new features that get released weekly. I still have stuff on my to do list to take advantage of last month's new features. Amazing progress. Thank you!
Amazing work πShahjahan JewelΒ β congrats to the whole team! This marks the beginning of a new era for FluentCart. I believe we can expect tens of thousands of WooCommerce-to-FluentCart migrations, and likely hundreds of thousands over time.
Congratulations, Fluent team! π
This is great! Now only shipping API and weβre ready to switch
Wow congrats. Will check for sure
Amazing π€© π€© π€© !!! Thank you so much !
We use.the Woocommerce Stripe Payment Gateway through WooPayments, so there is no login for Stripe that we have. Do we have to get a new Stripe account to use or will we be able to use what we have?
Mike DeVincentisΒ after the migration you can just connect with the same stripe account in FluentCart
Shahjahan JewelΒ We don't have a login for Stripe. Upon further investigation, it appears that when you sign up for Stripe through Woopayments, they create what's called a Stripe Express account. You can log into that account by going through the steps providing the link attached. Probably something you should inform your users because I would venture to say there are a lot of customers that use the Woopayments system.
https://woocommerce.com/document/woopayments/account-management/access-stripe-account/
Also, important to note:
This may end up making people switch to a full blown Stripe account Bec of the limitations listed below. Once you move away from WooCommerce you lose the Payments menu.
Note:Β Other aspects of your WooPayments account β likeΒ payouts,Β refunds,Β disputes, andΒ transactionsΒ β can only be administrated via theΒ PaymentsΒ menu in your siteβs WordPress dashboard. These items cannot be managed via your Stripe Express account.
Mike DeVincentisΒ we will add notes. By the way, are you handling any subscripts? If not then you can just open a new stripe account and start accepting payments while old orders will be migrated for reference.
Shahjahan JewelΒ I am not, so that's what I'll probably do.
Iβve completely switched to FC, but not delete Woo so I could still see studentsβ previous payments. Today I tried transferring (just the orders) from Woo, and everything went quickly and smoothly. Butβ¦ the order list in the CRM isnβt sorted correctly by order date. Itβs difficult to track the order of payments when there are a large number of it. Unfortunately Iβve rolled everything back.β¨β¨
PS When using menu grouping in Fluent Hub, the βMigratorβ menu isnβt visible.
This is amazing!
Any idea as to integrating with Shippo AND/OR PirateShip?
Switched!! Now the only thing I would love to see is importing with CSV data, with the store managed renewals this should me quite doable I suppose, but would love to migrate all subscriptions to Fluent so we have everything in one place. Thanks for the great work!
Martijn MeijerΒ Store-managed renewals should be migrated automatically and it will auto-renew in FluentCart.
Shahjahan JewelΒ Works perfect! Woo was FLUENT. I meant subscription with our old provider (which I can only export in CSV). Thanks Jewel π
Most of my WooCommerce clients use the Germanized plugin to generate invoices and ensure their shops comply with legal requirements in Germany and the EU. For the initial release of the new migration tool, I donβt expect Germanized-generated invoices to be included. However, is this something the FluentCart developers might consider in a future plugin update?
Sascha LeemΒ If they store the data in the woo's table then it should be auto migrated. By the way, if you use FluentCart then you may not need any additional plugins to sale in Europe. As you are a power user, you may ask Claude to backfill the data from woo to FluentCart after the migration.
This is awesome! Is it also able to migrate PayPal subscriptions as well as Stripe?
Paul HopkinsΒ Yes. PayPal also works.
When is your holidays Shahjahan JewelΒ ? You guys aren't sleeping!
Hii, does FluentCart supports other currencies depending on the country (COP and MXN i.e).
Also, I want to know if it supports MercadoPago (a payment platform) and offline payments (Banc transfers)
Thaaanks!
How does fluentcarts work with https://orbitvu.com ? Is it possible to show this on the product page?
Great job
finally I will be able to use my first license!
That is a nice milestone. I am interested in the idea, but i use a lot of custom features like.
1) Pay your price (customers can choose there own price between x and y or from price x
2) I can send customers a link from the order and they can pay without login
3) People can order without a login. When the emailaddress exist. The order will automatically be connected to there account.
4) Track and trace
5) Auto finish order for digital products
6) Les checkout fields for digital products (no address)
7) Attach PDF with general terms and conditions to the order email
8) Use a link which will link to the checkout page with a product
It will also save me some custom code or plugins like invoices, but also ask me to write custom code for wpcourseware to connect to.
For a product based webshop i think the will help to switch. I did some testing and it is very quick and also easy to setup.
