Changelog

Download access

• New Download access. Hold a file until a date and time, or limit who can download it. Set this for the whole store, or on each product.
• New Store-wide access has its own switch. Set Available from, choose to show the file with that date or hide it, and limit downloads to WordPress roles, FluentCRM lists, or tags.
• New Each product has a Download access setting. It replaces the store date, the hide choice, and the allow list. Leave the product allow list empty to keep the store list.
• New Before the release time, the file shows Available on that date and the Download button stays disabled on the account page and the receipt page. Hide removes the file until then.
• Improved Updated the language template so more text can be translated.

Account tabs and low stock preview

• Fix Saving an account tab shortcode that includes quotes no longer removes the tab.
• Fix The account tab slug now fills from the full tab label while you type. A saved slug stays as it is when the label is renamed.
• Fix The low stock message preview now updates as you edit the message, threshold, and design.

Bricks Page Support

• Improved Account tabs now show a WordPress page built with Bricks.
• Improved Updated the license SDK.

Product order, external links, and account tab limits

• New Product Order. Set a custom product order for the shop, the products block, and the shop shortcode. Shoppers can still sort by name, price, or date.
• New Reorder products by drag and drop, move arrows, or an order number, including from the product editor. Search the list by product name.
• New External Product. Replace Add to Cart and Buy Now with a custom link, button text, and an option to open in a new tab.
• New External Product on the shop, product page, View Options modal, and standalone buy buttons. Use one link for every variant, or set each variant on its own.
• New Limit an account tab to selected WordPress roles, or FluentCRM lists and tags.

Checkout reloads, download limits, and purchase blocks

• New Hide selected payment methods by cart type. Hide Cash on Delivery on digital-only (download) checkouts, or hide methods on physical carts. Place order uses the same rule, so a hidden method cannot be posted.
• New Reload checkout when the cart changes in another tab. An empty form refreshes by itself. If the shopper already typed, a banner with a reload button is shown so their details are not lost.
• New Optional download limits for paid one-time orders. Cap how many times a file can be downloaded and how many days it stays available. Remaining count and expiry show on the customer order and account download lists. Limit PDFs or all files, store-wide or for selected products, categories, or brands.
• New Remaining download count and expiry also show on the WP admin order view.
• New After a download limit is reached, hide the file or keep it visible with an error. The download link will not work.
• Fix Remaining download count on the customer portal updates as soon as a file is downloaded, without a page refresh.
• New Internal Product Data. Add staff-only name and value rows on the product editor. They stay off the storefront and copy onto the order so staff and an API can match the sale.
• New Checkout fields can be a Date picker. The shopper picks a date, it is stored on the order, and staff see it in the site date format.
• New Block purchases by email, IP, WordPress role, or FluentCRM list and tag. Each rule has its own toggle and message. Matching shoppers cannot place the order.
• New Show a checkout field group only for selected WordPress roles, or FluentCRM lists and tags. Product, category, and brand rules stay as they are.

Free price labels, URL coupons and smarter minimums

• New Show Free (or your own label) instead of a $0 price on the shop, product page, cart, and checkout. Compare prices, tax, and shipping still show as numbers.
• New Apply a coupon from a store link with ?coupon=CODE, such as yoursite.com/shop/?coupon=SAVE10. Works on shop, product, cart, and checkout. If the cart is empty, the code is saved until a product is added.
• New Option to hide the checkout coupon field after a coupon is applied from a URL. Shoppers can still see the applied code and remove it.
• New More control for the minimum order amount. Apply it to all products, physical only, or digital only, or limit it to selected products, categories, or brands.
• New Show how much is still needed when the cart is below the minimum order amount.
• New Option to exclude shipping from the minimum order total.
• New Disable Place Order until the minimum order amount is met.

Physical-only minimum order amount

• New Option to apply the minimum order amount only to physical products, so digital and download-only carts are not blocked.

File uploads and checkout field targeting

• New File field type: customers can attach PDFs, Word docs, or images at checkout. Set allowed types and max size once for every File field. SVGs are blocked.
• New Uploads stay private, in a temp folder during checkout and then moved to the order, never in the Media Library. They show as download links, with image thumbnails, in admin, the customer portal and the thank you receipt.
• New Show a field group only for selected products, categories, or brands. Leave the picker empty to keep the group on every checkout.

Checkout Fields, Pricing and Checkout tools

• New Checkout Fields module: custom field groups on checkout, with headings, four field types, drag-and-drop order and required validation. Answers save on the order and show in admin and the customer portal.
• New Place each group after name/email, after billing address, or before payment.
• New Pricing tools: hide unnecessary decimals and add a custom price suffix.
• New Checkout tools: hide billing fields on zero-total checkouts, store Stripe cards on subscriptions only, and preserve campaign attribution across domains.

Thank You Page redirect

• New Thank You Page tool: redirect buyers to a custom URL after checkout, globally or per product.
• New Multi-product rule: first item, highest amount, highest quantity, or product priority.

Initial release

• New Tools module with 27 store tweaks covering checkout, cart, portal, invoices, status labels, emails and reminders.
• New Custom customer login with branded copy, design controls, redirects and optional Google sign-in.
• New Product and variation shortcodes for custom layouts in any page builder.
• New Custom account tabs in the FluentCart customer portal with link, shortcode, editor and page content types.
