Easy Digital Downloads?
I love FC and I’m using it in my main site. I’m starting a second business though that will sell Wordpress plugins. I noticed that EDD not only has license management but also it’s specifically targeted for making WP plugins. The license management includes # sites per license and also auto updates for WP plugins (so you don’t have to go through the WP store).
Does FC have any of this besides just basic license key generation?
Yes FluentCart has all of this.
Ross FCA incredible! I just found it in the docs. That’s amazing!
Hey Matt, the team that makes FluentCart literally made this with their own needs in mind (and switched from EDD), selling plugins! We also use FluentCart to sell plugins at FluentlyWP, and we have all the features that we need, and that's because they already are using it for their own plugin sales, which is cool.
Nelson Miller that’s fantastic! How do you handle updates? Does FC have that, you vibe it, or just send it to the WP store?
Matt Zimmerman Yes, FluentCart is made for this, it handles updates like normal.
Matt Zimmerman there's a provided updater module you can add to your plugins. It handles licensing and updates. You then push updates by uploading your new version zip and upping your version numbers.
