just tested the product button on my landingpage with instant modal checkout. I LOVE it! 😍

Natascha Vantuykom would love to see that page! :)

David Carton

Natascha Vantuykom it’s not yet mobile friendly 🙂😬 But it’s great feature 🫶

David Carton you are correct, did not check that yet :-) Shahjahan Jewel 

David Carton

Natascha Vantuykom your welcome.

Cristian Ciuberea

David Carton you’re right. It should work on mobile… 80% of our customers are on mobile . The functionality is great but it need to be adapted to phones also

David Carton

Cristian Ciuberea I not have updated yet, is not possible in the setting? I think it is possible. I update in a couple of hours. 🫡

Natascha Vantuykom Thanks for sharing! This looks like a really nice feature.

That said, I still get a bit of OCD seeing that taxes aren’t properly identified at checkout (and I assume the same applies to invoices). 🥲

Showing labels like “Standard Tax” instead of clearly identifying VAT, and without indicating the applicable percentage, feels like an important detail that’s still missing—especially for EU stores...

Hopefully this will be addressed at some point, ideally together with more flexibility in checkout fields, which would make the whole flow much more robust!

Indeed, mobile is still not responsive as David pointed! But I am sure it will look incredible :)

Jorge de los Reyes you can change those labels now

Natascha Vantuykom Oh! I completely missed that: thanks for clarifying :)

Even knowing that labels can be customized, I’ve kept the setup on standby until there’s a native, universal Tax ID field available at checkout.

Right now, the EU VAT field only appears for EU customers, and when it does, it replaces the option to collect a more general Tax ID, which is limiting for B2B.

Ideally, it would be a single field for all customers, configurable as optional or mandatory, and adaptable to EU VAT or the relevant tax identifier per country: ideally placed in the Billing Address section, as you suggested recently!

Collecting a Tax ID is key for proper B2B identification, even when EU VAT or OSS regimes don’t apply.

How are you dealing with TAX ID gathering on checkout for B2B atm?

Jorge de los Reyes we are currently using FluentCart for our own Peppol Commerce e-invoicing plugin with licencing. Those are all B2B customers. In Belgium, we only need European VAT number on checkout, so we manage.
But it is still an issue that we, as store owners, can not, in any way, add a VAT number when we edit a customer or add an order from the backoffice.

Natascha Vantuykom 

Currently, at least in the setup you shared, it is still showing ES Standard (eg.: for Spain, and other EU countries) and only shows the proper identification for your local tax. (Belgium), even it's set to collect tax in all the EU.

I guess, if you want proper tax identification you have to make customizations on every EU Country so as to properly identify each VAT and %? 🥲

Natascha Vantuykom Yes! I have also seen there's no backoffice options. Which are a must. Also in manual orders...

I guess that if the only market is EU, it's suitable for now.

Sadly, for international purposes, f you also work with non-EU companies it could be troublesome... We are waiting for this kind of updates to check everything deeper :)

PS.: How is your new plugin launch going so far? Would love to hear your news in a community post or alike!

Jorge de los Reyes I just changed the label for Belgium standard tax, you can do this for every country

Shahjahan Jewel

Cristian Ciuberea We are gonna fix that in the next version.

Jorge de los Reyes that is a continuous work in progress 😆 so many things to figure out and implement... But we are doing great. Hopefully in the future we can add more countries

F. C.

Natascha Vantuykom Very nice! Though the modal has padding issues. Content sits very close to the bottom edge.

Dany Tetreault

Stupid question : How we do to have the popup window open like the video at 0:36 sec.

Shahjahan Jewel

Dany Tetreault we added a product button block where you can do that easily. More details here: https://fluentcart.com/blog/fluentcart-v1-3-8/

Dany Tetreault

Shahjahan Jewel Thank you and Is the option to embed the product and the button on another website being considered?

David Carton

Nice one, before I update, is it olready possible to delete test orders? Please?

Shahjahan Jewel

David Carton

Shahjahan Jewel thank you, and your team 🙏

L.A. Arts

Can't wait for it to be ready to use in Elementor!

Ming Xu

How to set this instant checkout feature?

Sander Wielemaker

Shahjahan Jewel Is there a shortcode for those not using the native Wordpress Block Builder?

Shahjahan Jewel

Sander Wielemaker We will add the shortcode support in the next version (next week).

Sander Wielemaker

Shahjahan Jewel Awesome!

Bryan William

Shahjahan Jewel boom 💥 💥 💥, exactly my request because I'm using thrive architect page builder

F. C.

Shahjahan Jewel Would that update also include additional shortcodes to render other product related data and stuff?

Shahjahan Jewel Any progress re EDD V3.x migration? I don't see it in the changelog for 1.3.8. Also, is it possible to use FluentCart and EDD concurrently during a testing/transition period? We have some subscriptions (using Paddle for EDD), will they be migrated to FluentCart when we migrate? We'd really like to be able to start testing/using FluentCart, so hopefully this is coming soon!

Shahjahan Jewel

Screenplay Unlimited Will be available witin next 1 month.

Shahjahan Jewel Great, thanks, please could you answer my other questions?

Shahjahan Jewel

Screenplay Unlimited, we don't have any conflict with EDD or Woo. Can be used side by side.

Shahjahan Jewel Thanks, and will the EDD 3.x to FluentCart migration handle existing monthly subscriptions (premium memberships created with Paddle for EDD and the subcriptions for EDD plugin)?

Tracy Rohan

Shahjahan Jewel I had a conflict with Woo and FC

Cointacter

We need slide-in cart on all pages including inside FluentCommunity SPA :(

Shahjahan Jewel

Cointacter We already have that from very first.

Cointacter

Shahjahan Jewel I cant find it in docs, please show me. And does it work inside FluentCommunity SPA?

Shahjahan Jewel

Cointacter FluentCommunity SPA -> You can create page with Community Page frame and then it will work.

Cointacter

Shahjahan Jewel I cannot find anything about any slide-in cart.

Cointacter

Shahjahan Jewel I dont understand what you mean. This cart drawer isnt working in FC SPA. Are there plans to make it work in FC SPA ?

Michal Paczula

Shahjahan Jewel  With this version, unfortunately, the option to choose the payment method in Stripe disappeared. This is a bug that had already been fixed by the Ninja developers before, so please take a look at it and change it again. The issue is that even though I have various payment methods enabled in Stripe, the only one showing up at checkout is the credit card.

Because of this, I had to switch to the payment gateway handled on Stripe’s side.

Shahjahan Jewel

akm elias please take a look. Talk with support as well. Let's try to debug this.

AKM Elias

Shahjahan Jewel Sure, on it.

AKM Elias

Michal Paczula Couldn't recreate, working as expected. I checked with € and $.

Moreover, nothing changed regarding this. We are on it though, We'll let you know.

Michal Paczula

AKM Elias Shahjahan Jewel I create ticket #1449

Please, look into it.

Can you change the CTA text on the button? For example, for my course landing page I would prefer "Start Learning" instead of Buy Now

Shahjahan Jewel

Shahjahan Jewel By the way I love how it looks! Thanks for this feature. Only thing is that this new mode does not show any order bumps that you have set for that specific product.

Shahjahan Jewel

Learning Music Skills We will add the order bump support in the next version.

Ming Xu

Shahjahan Jewel shortcode is more convenient than block editor.

F. C.

Ming Xu Shortcodes are essential for everyone who doesn't use one of the currently supported page builders.

Gee Adriaansz

There is an error on the modal page: I see the message "No payment method has been activated for this site yet." while it is.

Shahjahan Jewel

Gee Adriaansz Would you please open a support ticket so we can take a look.

Gee Adriaansz

Shahjahan Jewel Will do... can your team please check the other support ticket that I opened a couple of hours ago? For me it's critical as I am losing money because of it.

Shahjahan Jewel

Gee Adriaansz Sure. I will check myself with the team on monday morning.

Emmanuel Ivwighre

The plugin is great but the challenge is that it does not support Flutterwave payment Gateway. When it support pls let me know so I can purchase the plugin.

Richstar Dindili

We need  Flutterwave payment Gateway, as it is commonly used in most African countries.

Bryan William

Richstar Dindili Use Paystack

Richstar Dindili

Bryan William Flutterwave supports 35 African countries (including where I am), Paystack only operates in 7 African countries.

Bryan William

Richstar Dindili I'm not even aware of that, I thought Paystack has a broader reach

Morgan McArthur

This is great! well done! ... also remember sales are made with good conversion checkout layouts like what Cartflows has for instance! Replicate what Carflows has and you are onto a a real winner!

Morgan McArthur is that something we can already implement/adjust ourselves or is this baked in with fluentcart?

Morgan McArthur

Learning Music Skills FluentCart has the basics but not the same marketing funnel as Cartflows has and unfortunately Cartflows does not have an API that FluentCart can plug into. I am sure its on FluentCart's roadmap to replicate Cartflows into FluentCart.

Morgan McArthur Ah, so you mean upsell/down sell funnels? That's on the roadmap from what I saw. I hope it'll be added soon!

Morgan McArthur

Learning Music Skills that yes and how a good cart funnel should be laid out for best conversion i.e provide templates and also be able to shift things around in the templates with sales pages, checkout pages and thank you pages

Bryan William

This is so amazing

Gregory Wint

Good great news but your Caribbean and Latin American customers would really appreciate it if you could include other payment gateway like Tilopay.

Nicolas D

Amazing, great feature :) cant wait to see elementor integration so that we can start launching fluentcart sites for our clients 👍

Bryan William

Can this modal style be implemented fluent community courses. I click on course, a checkout page appears without redirect

Bryan William following. +1

Andre Gois

Shahjahan Jewel

Bryan William Wait 1-2 weeks! The FluentCommunity team is going to add this feature.

Bryan William

Shahjahan Jewel you guys are the best...

Erick Laureano

Please, when Mercado Pago will be supported? Very important for Latin American business 🙏🙏🙏

Ola E

When should we expect a complete funnel that includes upsell and downsells

Ana G

A dynamic shortcode is needed to integrate with other builders! Aka, if we create a 'global template' for products, the shortcode must recognize the product and have show the checkout for that product.

Sophia S

Great work done, can't wait for Manual subscriptions feature Shahjahan Jewel 

Ola E

Great

Please when should we expect a complete funnel design that includes upsell and downsell pages compatible with must page builders

Juxhin

Suepr niceeeeeeeeeeee

Teddy Skokos

I'm loving FluentCart! Can't wait for more features.

Ceez Vision

Would be nice if we could make the purchase buttons hide bases on user tags.
