The makers of FluentCart are on the job. They get it that introducing a new WordPress e-commerce plugin and competing with WooCommerce is a big deal.
So after a successful launch, the makers of FluentCart have been hard at work learning from users and releasing thoughtful updates at a steady pace. Here’s a summary of new or refined FluentCart features that have been released in April and May 2026:
Accurate package dimensions power accurate shipping rate calculations. If your store can’t tell a carrier the precise dimensions of a package (a box, or envelope, or soft package), you can’t get an accurate shipping rate. If you can’t get an accurate shipping rate, you either overcharge customers or you eat the difference. Now there’s a new Packages screen where you can create reusable package profiles. There are three package types to start: Box, Envelope, and Soft Package. Each package type has these attributes: Length, Width, Height; Dimensional Unit; Empty Weight; A Name; and a Default Flag. Flag one as default and it pre-selects when you assign packages to new products. Build your stores Package library once, use it everywhere.
The new Product Variations editor is a focused modal with a two-column layout. On the left, your full list of variations with thumbnails and prices. On the right, the selected variation opens into a clean panel with these collapsible sections: Pricing, Inventory, SKU, and Shipping. Each section collapses on its own. So if you’re just tweaking prices, you don’t have to scroll past fields you don’t care about.
FluentCart version 1.3.19 is a foundation release for physical products. Packaging is the base layer. Dynamic rate calculations, carrier integrations, and per-order packing logic all sit on top of it, and now that the data structure is in place, development of those other pieces will move fast.
The new Product Variations Editor redesign makes room to keep adding to the physical product workflow without the UI becoming over crowded.
This release focused on making sure the systems that handle money (payments, refunds, shipping, and licensing) synch with each other in real time. The fixes in this release remove the kind of after-the-fact reconciliation that quietly costs store owners hours every month.
FluentCart 1.3.26 brings Square as a new payment gateway, lets you include private products in your discount and coupon rules, and adds subscription setup fees to receipts. On top of that, nine fixes tighten timezone handling, product editor behavior, and styling across the board.
Square is now available as a payment gateway for FluentCart. It ships as a separate addon plugin (v1.0.0) that you can install directly from your FluentCart dashboard if you have FluentCart Pro.
Square supports one-time card payments through the Square Web Payments SDK, which handles card tokenization on the client side for PCI compliance. Your customers enter their card details directly on your checkout page without being redirected to a third-party site.
For stores that sell subscriptions, Square handles the full recurring billing lifecycle. All subscription state changes sync between FluentCart and Square automatically.
Refunds (both full and partial) can be processed directly from your FluentCart order page. Square webhook events keep both systems in sync so refund status is always accurate.
Digital wallet support is coming in a future update.
Square currently supports six currencies: USD, CAD, AUD, GBP, JPY, and EUR.
Now private products appear in coupon rules, discount conditions, or order bump configurations, so you can build promotions around products that are not publicly listed in your catalog. This is useful for stores that use private products for exclusive offers, membership perks, or bundled items that should not be browsable on their own.
If you charge a setup fee on subscriptions, that fee now appears as a separate line item on both the receipt page and in order confirmation emails.
This release moves Licensing to a dedicated page of its own, and cleans subscription, payment, and storefront friction that surrounds it. A new Sites section in the licensing module features a top-level list of every activated site, a dedicated site detail page that brings together the customer profile, variation details, and amount formatting consistent with the rest of the app, and an advanced filter so support and store owners can slice the list the way they need to. Variation details flow through to the site view, so it is clear which product and tier each activation belongs to.
This release adds a List/Grid view switcher to the product listing element, so a single template can serve shoppers who scan in a grid and shoppers who read down a list. Alongside it, product listings gain a proper filtering layer: customizable display names so category filters read in plain language, a partial-match toggle for searches that should be forgiving, a live filter toggle that updates results as the visitor changes their mind, and an Allow Out Of Stock control so merchants can decide whether unavailable items still appear. Pagination on Bricks pages was rebuilt as well, so larger catalogs load faster on the front end.
Reactivations now move through the same integrations and customer emails as activations. So, connected tools react when a subscription is reactivated, including after a refund triggers reactivation. The CRM picks up tag changes, and any welcome-back automation tied to a subscription state fires as intended. License access also re-activates automatically during reactivation, so paid access lines up with the billing state without a manual nudge. For stores selling subscriptions, reactivation feels like the mirror image of cancellation.
FluentCart is a capable e-commerce plugin for WordPress websites. Use it to sell physical, digital, and licensed software products on your website. It’s fast, secure, and performs well at scale.
