FluentCart 1.3.0 Release and Some Announcement 🎉
We just released FluentCart 1.3.0 with some super-packed features, improvements, bug fixes, and many more. Read the whole post about what's coming next!
New Payment Gateway: We are expanding payment options quickly and in this version, we shipped PayStack payment gateway integration. Accept payments across Africa with one of the continent's leading payment processors!
Introducing REST API: Lots of 3rd party developers are working to ship integrations, and we have many already. To make it easier, we shipped REST API documentation + Playground.
Subscription Improvements: You can now add Quarter and Half-year intervals to all your subscription products.
Security & Compliance First: We recently purchased Patchstack's comprehensive Full Plugin Security Audit. Patchstack is a leading WordPress security expert. We received a detailed audit report, implemented all recommendations, and remain committed to ongoing security improvements.
Coupons Improvements: You can now restrict coupons by customer email or domain – e.g., offer exclusive discounts to an entire company with *@partnercompany.com. This powerful feature is built directly into the core!
Open for Contributors: We want to build FluentCart with you. Check out our GitHub repo and contribute anything from typo fixes to full new features. Your input is welcome! 🚀
Other Improvements:
- Invoice & Reporting Improvements
- Translation & Localization

Thanks again for being awesome and help us to build the next generation eCommerce plugin for small businesses world-wide.
Suggestion.. It would be nice to:
-
restrict a coupon by CRM tag
-
enable/disable case sensitive coupon + Trim extra spaces from the cart: coupon field.
Just add to the couponVariable function:. toLowerCase().trim();
-
enable dynamic coupon for a Fluent Affiliate where coupon value = 0-100% of affiliate outstanding balance (this coupon would be assigned automatically to affiliate email so nobody else could use it - affiliate could exchange affiliate balance to purchase our products)
-
maybe it would be nice to have a ajax search box for the fluent cart options in the wp-admin so Admin could find some features faster
Its a super nice update with many handy fixes. Great job as always!
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks god for strings to translate. Do the same to Paymattic! :-D
Amazing updates 😎♥️ 👏
Awesome! Thanks again for the amazing work.
I can't update FluentCart Pro Shahjahan Jewel "FluentCart Pro Plugin needs to be updated to the latest version." but there is no new version to update.
Gee Adriaansz Would you please try now. Maybe chacking issue.
Shahjahan Jewel Still not possible (And I do not use a caching plugin)
Gee Adriaansz I just noticed it was from our end. Can you go to WordPress Dashboard -> Updates -> Click check again. It should ping the updates server.
Shahjahan Jewel I just tried it, but unfortunately there's still no update available for Pro
Gee Adriaansz I am investigating it. Would you please update manually by downloading the pro from https://fluentcart.com/account/downloads/🙏
Shahjahan Jewel Will do, thanks!
Gee Adriaansz i was facing the same issue , just log into your fluentcart account and download & update manually https://fluentcart.com/account/
N_Wanyagah It will work fine now. We had an issue with Licensing endpoint.
Sounds great Shahjahan Jewel ! However, do you have any update re EDD V3.x migration and the equivalent of EDD Discounts Pro (discounts for specific users, applied automatically when they log in, for individual or groups of products/courses?) This is something we use all the time. Also we can't really start using FluentCart without the EDD 3.x migration.
Screenplay Unlimited, We started working on it from earlier this week and the migration from EDD is one the most requested features. Let's see if we can ship within the next two weeks.
Shahjahan Jewel Thank you, much appreciated!
I posted this in the FC section but it never got approved...Is there a way to embed a product on any page? If so, how can I do this? Thanks!
Jacqueline Fatica We have a product card block also you can copy the direct Purchase link from pricings and add to any button in any page.
Shahjahan Jewel Can you guys possibly make a YouTube tutorial?
Shahjahan Jewel The direct purchase link is great, but how about an add to cart link? That would really free up flexibility, and help overcome shortcomings with sitebuilder integrations (specifically Bricks, in my case).
Matthew Selznick we already have direct checkout link.
Shahjahan Jewel Please re-read my comment. I wrote, "The direct purchase link is great, but how about an add to cart link?"
Shahjahan Jewel What I am wanting to do is add a product to a landing page that's been built with ThriveArchitect - is that something I can do now?
Jacqueline Fatica If you want them to checkout, then you can do that with the checkout link (use that for your button that says "buy here" or whatever it says). Hopefully they will do what Matthew Selznick said and have an ?add-to-cart=[id] link (bonus if it could also have &coupon=[coupon code]) if you want people to purchase other things in addition to the one thing.
Amazing,
I am having a small challenge, on Paystack I am unable to use Kenyan shilling
Samson This is the very first version. Would you please submit a support ticket? We implemented based on their API. We would love to improve it.
Shahjahan Jewel Sent, Will be waiting for updates
Thank you!
Shahjahan Jewel Same case, ksh not working , getting an error that paystack does not support my currency . after switch to usd i get the following , also an error that i havent configured the API,
also can the paystack label be changed ? and let me use the logo / icon i have set
N_Wanyagah Yes you can change the label/logo and also can add description/instructions from settings. Payment Settings -> Paystack
And regarding currency support, it mostly depends on your Paystack account currency. Still as it's a first version we will improve any shortcomings and update soon. thanks
akm elias paystack accepts both usd and ksh , but on this site i am using ksh
akm elias even after changing / updating the logo and naming label its still display as shown ( the light blue paystack label )
N_Wanyagah If you delete 'Paystack for FluentCart' plugin from plugin dashboard and reinstall it from payment settings page(From the next FluentCart update, you’ll receive automatic update notifications for paystack) it should solved the currency support issue.
Regarding logo/label change, It should always work (if still not works for you, we will check)
akm elias deleting and installing the plugin worked, moving to live tests now

How to change the payment default text with an icons, I just need icons instead of text, like Credit/Debit Cards
UPI, Net Banking, Wallets, EMI, any help from the FluentCart team, Ninja?
Suffian Ahmed Update from here. Icons will be default from now.
If you want your custom content instead of the default you can use the given hook.
AKM Elias I am unable to update it, it just shows this messgae but the active version shows the same unable to get the updates. check teh screenshot pelase. I tried multiple times, but still no updates were saved in my account. Every time it says, update available. Any positive reason, how to fix it?
Suffian Ahmed Could you please show me what response it returns upon 'Update now' click.
AKM Elias I am getting a success message itself, but still the plugin version of Razorpay shows the old one, and also no icons show in live. Is there any way to update it manually using plugins, or can you fix it remotely?
Suffian Ahmed Try now, please and let me know.
AKM Elias Razorpay icons updates successfully, we are really thankful for your lightning speed response support, which we really appreciated. Is that for all other users or custom-made for me? I hope this is useful to other users, too. I like the icons; check the screenshot here. Thank you once again.
Suffian Ahmed It's for all, it's an update. and custom content hook is available.
What this is all about, check the screenshot here. I didn't get it. Can you explain it a bit more, how to use it and why? 'fluent_cart/checkout_embed_payment_method_content'
AKM Elias , custom content hook, can you share a screenshot of where I need to edit it? Can I change the respective icons and text under Razorpay settings? One file helps so I can understand and use it on my end. I am new here, please kindly share some more details here, where to go, and how to change the custom hood or icons individually, etc. Refer to the attached screenshot, thank you
Suffian Ahmed simply use the hook to render your choice of content. It's for developers mainly.
AKM Elias Another generic question I have paypal payment gateway is already enabled, but it's not showing in my checkout page. I tried enabling and disabling again, but still no success. Any suggestions, please? All api keys are active live now. But still it's now coming up.
Suffian Ahmed I think it's because, PayPal Doesn't support Indian Rupee to receive payments.
AKM Elias Is there any ways to change Indian rupees in paypal account?
Suffian Ahmed No. as AKM mentioned, "PayPal Doesn't support Indian Rupee to receive payments.". You may talk with paypal and ask them why they don't allow that.
Love this!!! Any progress adding more shipping integrations? PIRATE SHIP 🏴☠️ PLEASE?!! 🙏
Thank you so much. but i still can not delete the test orders.
Nathaly Haezebrouck I see this on our backlog. Will be available on our next version.
Shahjahan Jewel Thank you so much. Would be lovely. We dont want to make our accountant suspecious 😅
Sitting over here... wishing I had a WooCommerce migration. 😇
David Risley I know I know!
Great work indeed. Shahjahan Jewel is it possible to support manual subscriptions in the near feature or Pay with Cash as some users may pay money by cash, do bank transfer or do cheques?
This would be a great feature as well.
Sophia S Yes, within next month.
Shahjahan Jewel this is so great, can't wait 🙏🏿
Shahjahan Jewel Woohoo! Have clients that pay with Zelle, CashApp, etc.
Is the Stripe integration fixed? Can we use the different payment options they offer?
Michael Roed working for me (ex : Twint in Switzerland is working)
AmarokSpirit Thanks for the info. I can now get Apple and Google pay to work but not the danish MobilePay
About licensing system how we can implement inside a plugin ? and is just a pro features the licensing system ?
Shahjahan Jewel mate! Respect! That github thing... love you guys. Maybe next one FluentCommunity :P ?
What about PDF invoices to download ? i saw many users asking for this, and i was hoping it was done when i saw "improved invoices", right now clients cannot download invoices, there is only a print button (who prints invoices nowadays !!) please add a button "download" for PDF downloads thank you
Nicolas D Yeah I'm wondering about this too. there is a template page for invoices in settings that says "under development", you can create an order which is marked as pending and includes a direct to checkout link.
I didn't see anyway to actually 'invoice' anyone. Is is somewhere else??
Nicolas D Or have the button say "print to save to pdf"?
Wendy Perkins Shoef actually a"download invoice" link is enough, people know how to print a PDF if they want
Nicolas D We are bringing a downloadable PDF invoice feature in the next month.
Shahjahan Jewel Great news thank you 👍😀
Nicolas D I'd still like a way to email an invoice using a specific template as an email series. something attached to the FCRM account and the cart. Not everyone acts on an invoice immeditately and automating the entire process would be ideal.
Glad to see an update pushed out!
We are still waiting for elementor compatibility to be able to use fluent cart across multiple client sites.
Hi Shahjahan Jewel . Thanks for another update, great work. However, I have a few things that bother me, but one of the most important is the optimization for the EU environment. I also wrote tickets, I will send you the exact links in the message where I described it and my colleagues wrote that they would include it in the review, for which I thank you. However, I would like to use this opportunity to get feedback from others, whether it would make sense. I quickly worked out the concept of displaying Checkout, where I gave the logic how it would be possible for the customer to define himself in Checkout and at the same time there are also fields that are suitable for the EU from my point of view. Please, ignore the visual side, of course, that should be in your concept, I primarily wanted to define whether it is a B2C or B2B customer, because everyone has to fill in different data when ordering and then it should be transferred to future invoices or other documents. I hope this will be helpful and maybe some feedback from other EU users on whether other fields should be added.

Juraj Hudák Amazing, this would indeed add to the EU market tremendously. Even Woo doesn't provide this, you would need Market Press or similar in order to segment customer types comprehensively.
Sascha Liem thanks, I know 😉
Hi Shahjahan Jewel , hope you’re doing great!
BRAZIL, Peru, Argentina, and in the rest of Latin America

Mercado Pago is a Latin American fintech company providing financial services. It is part of the Mercado Libre ecosystem and has a strong presence in several countries in the region, including Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and Colombia, among others. The company's goal is to be the largest digital bank in Latin America.
First of all, congratulations on the new Fluent updates. They are absolutely amazing! Every release feels like you guys are playing in God Mode — and we love it! 😄
I’m reaching out kindly on behalf of the Brazilian community. The Fluent products are growing fast here, and people are really excited. However, there’s one little detail that’s becoming the “final boss” in our journey:
👉 Mercado Pago integration
Mercado Pago is currently one of the biggest payment platforms in Brazil and is used in almost every online business here. An official integration with the Fluent plugins would be a game changer for us — and would definitely boost Fluent’s expansion in our market.
I promise we’re not trying to be annoying… just passionate! 😅
We just want to make sure you don’t forget about us here in South America — because we’re big fans of your work!
If this integration is already on the roadmap, that’s fantastic.
If not yet, please consider it — there’s an army of “brazucas” waiting anxiously for it. 🇧🇷🔥
Thank you so much for everything you and your team are building.
You’re truly transforming the WordPress ecosystem.
Warm regards from Brazil!
Paulo Beneton
Shahjahan Jewel Too in Peru (and other latam countries), we are waiting for another option of woocommerce, and if this option can be FluentCart, it will be great. Also keep in mine that if you can have the SUSCRIPTION option with MERCADOPAGO, Fluentcart will get a lot of market over here.
Also in Argentina, and in the rest of Latin America. Shahjahan Jewel
Gonzalo Cayo Bejarano Mariano Rojo That's right folks, together for Latin America.

Amazon updat, thanks a ton! Have you ever considered to integrate https://flizpay.de/businesses for payments? It's the cheapest yet reliable and secure alternative to Stripe & Mollie so far...
Any word on Advanced Product Variation? Need to add product by size and colors.
Huge props on the new FluentCart release — the Paystack integration is a serious value-add and a great step forward for users across Africa. Really appreciate the speed and innovation behind these updates. 👏
I did notice something, though: the Ghanaian Cedi (GHS) doesn’t appear in the available currency list of FluentCart, even though Paystack fully supports GHS transactions on their platform.
Congrats on the latest release.
Like Kelvin Pious Nokoe I am very happy to see the addition of Paystack, and I have also found a small glitch. When using Paystack Sandbox mode, you are prevented from completing a purchase because it requires the live details to be filled in too before it does anything.
This means sites cannot be tested. Please fix this glitch as soon as possible.
Trevor Roberts you can test in sandbox mode if Your fluentCart store mode/order mode is test. Right now checkout is synced with FluentCart's 'Order Mode'. thanks
Can we have WPML plugin compatibility?
I do not see FluentCart in my portal and I am unable to find the download files to update it. I purchased it during the initial launch. Does anybody else have this problem? I have created a ticket but support is often slow to respond and I have 4 days to sit down and focus on getting the bulk of the configuration and deployment done and I do not want to lose 2 days waiting for support to respond.
Wayne Miller That looks like your WPManageNinja account (https://wpmanageninja.com/account/). You'll find FluentCart under your FluentCart account (https://fluentcart.com/account/).
Amazing News for me... I have been waiting for Paystack, it's finally here.
thanks!! Mercado Pago Intration please!!
thanks!! Mercado Pago Integration please!!
