FluentCart and ShipStation

Shahjahan Jewel asked for reviews on Wordpress, so I went. Wondered why someone left a 1-star review some 9 months ago, where he complained about FluentCart not connecting to ShipStation. And then things took a different course. A couple of hours later....

ShipStation ↔ FluentCart: free bridge plugin, looking for testers

FluentCart has no ShipStation integration and none on the roadmap, a recurring pain point for anyone shipping physical products. My own store only sells digital products, but I built a bridge for the community using ShipStation's standard "Custom Store" connector. No ShipStation API plan needed.

What it does:

• Paid physical orders import into ShipStation: address, items, SKUs, weights, requested shipping method, package info
• Unpaid offline orders wait under Awaiting Payment; refunds and cancellations drop out
• Mark shipped or print a label in ShipStation → the tracking number goes back to FluentCart and the order switches to Shipped through FluentCart's own status route, so its emails and automations fire
• FluentCart's shipped email gets a tracking box with a "Track parcel" button: built-in links for DHL, UPS, FedEx, USPS, GLS, DPD, Hermes and more, plus 17TRACK for everything else
• Settings page with a request log, export preview and an order inspector for troubleshooting

Tested: end to end on a FluentCart store with a ShipStation trial account: import, status mapping, tracking write-back, shipped email.
Not yet tested: real purchased labels with a connected carrier. On a trial without a carrier, ShipStation left weight and dimensions empty on imported orders, although the plugin sends them.

Looking for testers who ship with ShipStation and a connected carrier (US, UK or EU). Download: [link]. Please report back with the plugin's request log.

Not yet decided upon: Free, GPL, community project, support on a best-effort basis.

Happy days,

Helmar
