🎉 Release Week Day 4: Introducing Advanced Inventory Management

Day 4 of release week, and we are still shipping!

Today's one is for everyone selling physical products. Advanced Inventory Management is now in FluentCart Pro.

This one has been on my mind for a while. Store owners have been asking for proper stock control, not just a single number per variant, but a real workflow with history, accountability, and something that scales as the catalog grows. 1.3.22 lays that foundation.

Here is what is new:

• Update stocks in bulk. Select many variants at once, increase by an amount or set an exact stock value, pick a reason, and apply to all. No more clicking through variants one by one.
• Full activity log. Every stock change is recorded. Old value, new value, who made the change, when, the reason, and an optional custom note. You finally have a real paper trail.
• Dedicated Inventory submenu in WP Admin right next to Products, so inventory has its own home now.
• Inventory API with endpoints for listing, updating, and adjustment history. Plus a query-optimized stats endpoint that aggregates in SQL so it stays fast even on large stores.

Advanced Inventory is a Pro feature and only activates when you enable it, so existing stores see no change until you opt in.

We also shipped a bunch of other good stuff for physical product sellers today:

• Package info everywhere. Dimensions and weight now appear on the product page (as a native Gutenberg block), in the checkout order summary, and in order confirmation emails. The product page block is variant-aware so the table updates instantly when shoppers switch variants.
• Flexible weight tier ranges in shipping. You can now set non-contiguous tiers like 0-10 and 15-20, with inline validation that blocks overlaps before saving.
• Shipping reliability passes. Fixed zone loading issues and cleaned up the amount field in the shipping method list.

If you sell physical products, this is a solid upgrade on both sides: more control in the back office, more transparency for shoppers at checkout.
