Fluent Suite of Plugins Native Application - What do you need?
Hello everyone,
I genuinely don’t know any of our customers who don’t use the native WooCommerce app to manage their store on the go—especially when it comes to orders and products.
FluentCart, on the other hand, doesn’t have a native mobile application… yet.
This feels like the right moment to start the discussion.
- Which features or information would you consider essential to access while on the go?
- What additional features do you think would significantly improve the overall mobile experience?
We’re currently working on a native, all-in-one application for the Fluent family of plugins, and we’d like to start gathering honest feedback, ideas, and requests from the community. We already plan to include the features our agency uses daily and those our customers consistently need, but we’d really like to hear directly from you—what you need, what you’re missing, and what would make a real difference.
P.S. This app is intended for store owners, managers, administrators, and teams—not for end customers.
Impressive. It's good to see so many 3rd party interest in developing features, plugins and now even an app for FC in such a short time.
I think it's probably most import to be able to manage everything related to orders and customers and have all the data dashboards available. It would be incredible if you could have in-person payment features in the app as well, such as the option to let someone pay with a contactless option (NFC and QR codes) so the app can also function as a payment terminal of sorts.
Would this be a paid app?
F. C. thank you so much, yes, clearly, fluentCart has potential but many core feature make it still not as attractive to be integrated, from lack of premade themes to, styling and so on, I feel the app is a missing feature as well
I was looking at woo official application and I saw the in-person payment too, thats very intresting but surely not included in the release of the app (v1) but down the way I guess, clearly it seems like a must feature to have - thank you for the suggestion as well.
"Would this be a paid app?"
Honestly I don't know this yet... I would love to make some money out of this, for sure, but at the same time, I feel that the community should have access to it without paying... I am still deciding, Im open to suggestions
One of the thing missing is definitely a mobile app! I love the live notifications flooding on mobile when orders come in lol, like Shopify, Etsy and eBay apps (even better if your mobile app can include these platforms too to unify order management). You should get paid for your work and I would paid for such app (hopefully there is a lifetime deal for early adopters). Suggestion: offer freemium version to increase adoption rate and also paywall for pro features.
Wan Ng Awesome feedback and suggestions, clearly one of the most important feature of a native application is the notification system, we are focusing quite a lot on this, so we can collect from every fluent plugin the notifications and ensure we create a unified notification system for each user inside a app.
UltimateFluent is not just a mobile app as we need to extend quite a lot various parts of fluent plugins, so it will be a plugin, and one of the modules inside it will be the unified mobile app.
Yes, I think the freemium way would be the best way to do it, and, yes, I think for a limit time we could offer LTD deal for early adopters.
