Some insights from the last beta release

1.WIZARD: Very limited options. I don’t think “Men’s shoes” or “Menswear” are very common categories. At the very least, a “Digital Products” option is missing.

2.ADD NEW PRODUCT: “Physical” and “Digital” are standard, but having a “Services” category would be very useful for most online service providers worldwide (designers, developers, consultants, etc.).

3.MANUAL ORDERS:

1. We should be able to delete a draft manual order. Having it recorded as “cancelled” is not suitable for many stores.
2. Taxes are not showing even when configured.

4.PRODUCTS:

1. Still missing the “Quarterly” option, which may be needed by many.
2. The product creator confuses “Subscription” with “Installments.” Installments should be in a completely separate category from One-time and Subscriptions.

5.TAXES: The option to have taxes included or excluded is currently global only, not product-specific. It would be extremely useful for sellers working with both B2C and B2B customers to be able to set this globally and at a product level. Personally, I haven’t been able to properly test the Tax Module: once everything is configured, I can’t find a way to apply the taxes.

Additional Note: Not sure if this was just due to testing on a staging site, but all pages were creating conflicts with our builder (Thrive Theme Builder). Since FluentCart uses CPTs like /item/, templates are automatically assigned from the main theme, which could break everything. Just a heads-up for Manuel Müller , who also uses Thrive. And perhaps a note that FluentCart could eventually benefit from having its own dedicated “Theme.” I’ve seen there are some theme settings, but not at the page level. Maybe having something like in fluent community (FC template, like surecart, could fix this kind of theme-related problems that may arise to some users)
