Julian Song - Organising #WCAsia 23, 24, 25 & 27

A year ago, we launched @FluentCartWP with one belief. Selling online should be simple, and the store should belong to you. You shouldn’t need a pile of add-ons just to sell one product, and you shouldn’t give a cut of every sale to your cart. This week, we tried to show what that looks like a year later. We shipped something every day: Mon: Dynamic Pricing Tue: On-page checkout Wed: FluentCart 2.0 with Multi Currency Thu: Reports that match your real orders Fri: RTL support, business IDs on receipts, and a big round of fixes The part I’m proudest of is still the boring part. There are zero transaction fees on Free and Pro, your data stays on your server, and the store stays fast. Year two is going to be even more fun, and it starts now!

A year ago, we moved thousands of our own live subscriptions onto a cart we had just built. If it broke, we’d lose paying customers, and we couldn't go back. That was @FluentCartWP first day. Today it turns 1, and more than 9,000 stores run on it. We shipped 50+ releases this year, so almost one every week. We built it because our users kept struggling with selling on WordPress. They could run their CRM, forms, support and community on their own site. But to sell something, they needed a cart plus a stack of add-ons, each with its own renewal. Or they used a cart that takes a cut of every sale. We didn’t like either option, so we made one plugin that does all of it and never takes a cut. This week we’re shipping something new every day for the birthday. Dynamic Pricing on Monday, on-page checkout on Tuesday, and today FluentCart 2.0 with Multi Currency. The next two days will also be fun to watch. Most of what we shipped this year came from people telling us what was missing. If you’re one of them, thank you. Please keep doing it. Year two starts now. 🚀

FluentCart is my dream project, and building it every day with an amazing team. So we’re doing something crazy. 5 new features in 5 days, Oct 12 to 16. And on it's birthday, we’re shipping @FluentCartWP 2.0. It’s the most requested feature, and I’m super excited about this one. Thank you everyone who believed in us from day one. Building this with you is the best part. Guess what’s coming in 2.0? 👀

On most WordPress stores, you need one plugin for reviews, another for photo reviews, and then you spend time fixing the styling. Reviews are a basic part of any store, so we built them right in @FluentCartWP. Only people who actually bought your product can leave a review, and they can add photos too. You can reply to them. The stars even show up in Google. And it looks good out of the box, no CSS fixing needed. Huge thanks to the Cart team for this one ❤️
