FluentCart 1.3.25 smoothing the seams

Published: April 30, 2026 Updated: April 30, 2026

FluentCart 1.3.25 is a maintenance-led release focused on making sure the systems that handle money (payments, refunds, shipping, and licensing) agree with each other in real time. Each fix is small in isolation; together they remove the kind of after-the-fact reconciliation that quietly costs store owners hours every month.

Shipping Math Restored for Mixed Product Types

When an order combined different product types like digital and physical, fragile and standard, the per-order base shipping rate was being applied once per shipping class group instead of once per order. That meant customers saw inflated shipping totals at checkout whenever their cart mixed product types. This release applies the base rate exactly once, regardless of how many shipping classes are in the cart. It restores the shipping math customers expect to see at checkout.

License Activations Treat www and non-www as One Site

On the Pro side, customers running their site on both www.example.com and example.com were burning two activations from a single license. Activation now normalizes the host before checking, so the same site counts as one regardless of how it is reached. License capacity stops disappearing into a duplicate that should never have been counted in the first place.

Improvements

Product variation management. Variant editing is smoother and more reliable: duplicate variant initialization on first load is fixed, the form no longer enters a spurious dirty state immediately after saving, and the post-deletion experience is cleaner so admins can keep working without an awkward reload.

Fixes and Stability

Stripe settings double encryption. Stripe settings were running through encryption twice on save, scrambling the secret key for stores that resaved their gateway configuration. Corrected.

Refund transaction scoping. The refund flow now scopes its transaction lookup by order ID, so a transaction from one order can no longer be used to refund a different one.

Customer lifetime statistics. Customer totals now recount on order refund, keeping refunded amounts out of running customer statistics.

Empty mini cart freeze. Clicking an empty mini cart no longer freezes the page.

Single product page layout. Single product pages have their max-width constraint and responsive padding back, so layouts hold their shape across breakpoints.

Coupon expiration timezone. Coupon expiration time now displays in the admin’s browser local time instead of UTC, removing the recurring “why is my expiration off?” confusion.

Subscription orders with coupon discounts. Orders using coupon discounts were getting stuck after checkout. Fixed.

Duplicate renewal records. Duplicate renewal records were being created during payment processing. Fixed.

Free shipping with multiple classes. Free shipping was incorrectly adding class surcharges when multiple shipping classes were in the cart. Fixed.

Paddle subscription cancellation on refund. Paddle subscriptions were not cancelling immediately after a refund was issued. They now cancel as expected.

Translated status labels. Transaction and subscription statuses in the customer portal now render translated labels instead of raw status keys.

Security and maintenance. This release includes ongoing security audits and routine hardening across both FluentCart core and FluentCart Pro.
