FluentCart 1.6.1 – Built Into the Divi Builder

Running FluentCart on a Divi site used to mean pasting shortcodes into a text module, adding a little custom CSS, and finding out how the page actually looked only after hitting preview. FluentCart 1.6.1 ships FluentCart Divi Blocks, a new add-on that puts eighteen native FluentCart modules directly inside the Divi 5 Visual Builder. Alongside it, FluentCart Pro gains Saved Payment Methods for both cards and PayPal accounts, so returning customers pay with something they already saved.

Eighteen FluentCart modules, right in the Divi module picker

Divi users have had two options for FluentCart pages: accept the default templates, or rebuild them with shortcodes and custom styling. Neither gives the drag-and-drop control that made people choose Divi in the first place.

FluentCart Divi Blocks adds eighteen modules that appear in the Insert Module panel like any other Divi module, gathered in their own FluentCart Modules folder. Products for a full catalog grid with sorting, filters, and category and brand pickers. Product Info, Product Card, Product Carousel, Media Carousel, and Related Products for product pages and collections. Product Search and Product Categories List for navigation. Add to Cart and Buy Now for purchase actions, each with a searchable product picker so the right variation is one search away, and Buy Now with an optional modal checkout. Mini Cart with a live item count. Cart, Checkout, and Receipt for the full purchase path. Customer Dashboard, Customer Dashboard Button, Store Logo, and Archive Header for the store and account surfaces.

Every module puts out FluentCart’s own storefront output, not a rebuild of it, so pricing rules, variations, subscriptions, coupons, taxes, and payments behave exactly as they do everywhere else. Styling flows through Divi’s own Design tab: typography, colors, buttons, product cards, carousels, backgrounds, borders, spacing, and shadows. No custom stylesheet, no theme template to maintain.

The practical impact: a Divi store gets built from the shop grid to the thank-you page without leaving the builder.

Real previews, so the page you design is the page you ship

Commerce modules have a habit of showing a grey placeholder box in the builder and the real thing only on the live page. The product modules here preview for real inside the builder: actual products, actual prices, actual variations, actual badges.

Sale and Sold Out badges are settings inside the product modules rather than a separate plugin, available as a corner overlay on the grid modules and as an inline row on Product Info. Dynamic Content tokens make FluentCart product fields available in any Divi text or image field, and Theme Builder support means one product template resolves whichever product a visitor is looking at.

The checkout and account modules follow the same rule. What sits on the canvas is the real checkout, field for field, and the real customer dashboard, ready to be styled with Divi’s Text, Input Fields, and Button controls.

Layout decisions get made once, in the builder, with the real store in front of you.

Eight ready-made layouts, seeded into the Divi Library

Starting from a blank canvas is the slowest part of launching a store. FluentCart Divi Blocks seeds eight complete layouts into the Divi Library: Shop, Single Product, Cart, Checkout, Thank You, Product Category, Customer Dashboard, and Campaign Landing. Each arrives with a preview thumbnail, loads from Load From Library like any saved layout, and is fully editable once it lands on the page.

Category and brand archives are covered by one layout rather than one per term, since the Archive Header and catalog modules scope themselves to whatever the shopper is browsing. The Campaign Landing layout rounds it out, built for promos, product launches, and ad traffic: create a page, open it with Divi, load the layout from Add From Library, and you have a focused landing page ready to point a campaign link at in minutes instead of designing one from scratch.

The practical impact: a working storefront on day one, edited rather than assembled.

Saved cards and saved PayPal turn a repeat purchase into one click

Repeat customers pay a small tax on every order: find the card, type sixteen digits, get the expiry right. For subscription and invoice-driven stores, that friction shows up as slow payments and abandoned renewals.

FluentCart Pro now offers Saved Payment Methods, covering both cards and PayPal accounts. Customers can save a payment method at checkout, manage saved methods from a Payment Methods page in their account, choose a default, and remove one at any time. Removing a saved PayPal account revokes it at PayPal as well, so nothing stays chargeable after the customer has taken it away.

Open invoices and renewals gain instant Pay Now, so a customer settles an outstanding amount with a saved method in a single step, and a saved PayPal account completes the payment in place instead of sending the customer off to PayPal and back.

Saving is always opt-in. Store owners can turn the whole feature on or off from a single store setting, and can choose to have the save box arrive pre-selected if that suits their market. If a PayPal account is not approved for saving payment methods, the store owner is told rather than left to wonder why nothing is being saved.

For subscription, membership, and service stores, this shortens the distance between an invoice arriving and money landing.

Coupons that behave the same everywhere

A coupon should mean the same thing on the storefront as it does on an admin order, and several places where the two drifted apart are now settled.

Stacking follows one rule on both sides. The first coupon a customer applies is the one that stays, so a large non-stackable coupon no longer disappears the moment a second code is tried. A maximum discount cap is honored at checkout, not only on admin orders, so a percentage coupon with a cap stops at the cap on a large cart.

Restrictions that were only enforced on the storefront now hold on the admin apply path too: email restrictions, per-customer limits, maximum spend, and unknown codes. Coupon settings that used to be accepted and then quietly misbehave are rejected on save instead, applying a coupon to an admin order containing product variations works as expected, and the coupon list shows the real number of times a coupon has been applied.

A quieter kind of trouble, handled

Failed subscription renewals used to pass without a word. FluentCart now sends a notification when a renewal charge fails, to the customer by default and optionally to the store owner, with the reason the payment provider gave. Alongside it, a Stripe renewal that succeeds after an earlier failed attempt is recorded properly instead of being dropped, which is exactly the case where a store most needs the payment to land.

Getting the Divi Blocks addon

Update FluentCart from your dashboard, then head to Settings → Features & Addons → Plugin Addons. FluentCart Divi Blocks appears in the addon list and installs in a click. It needs the Divi theme with the Divi 5 Visual Builder active.

Saved Payment Methods ships with FluentCart Pro; enable it from your store settings. Everything else in this release arrives with the core and Pro updates.
