FluentCart 2.2.0 – RTL stores and complete receipts

If your store runs in Arabic, Hebrew, or another right-to-left language, WordPress sets your pages to read from right to left. Parts of the FluentCart storefront still used fixed left and right positions. Arrows pointed the wrong way, the cart drawer slid in from the wrong side, and a price could split from its currency sign. A checkout laid out in the wrong direction is harder to fill in, and some shoppers leave before they pay. FluentCart 2.2.0 lays out the checkout, cart, shop, product pages, customer portal, receipts, and emails for right-to-left languages.

The release also puts the registration, tax, and VAT IDs from Business Details on receipts and order emails. With FluentCart Pro, the Create Order screen now prices an order in the currency you pick. This is day 5 of Birthday Release Week, the last day.

Your storefront, customer portal, receipts, and emails now read right to left

When your site language reads right to left, WordPress marks every page that way, and FluentCart now follows that setting. The order summary and the form fields swap sides. Arrows and carousel buttons point the right way, notices slide in from the correct side, and the cart drawer opens from the left. On the checkout, Docked field labels, the Change button, and the VAT Apply button switch to the opposite side.

Some text has to stay left to right inside a right-to-left page. Email addresses, phone numbers, postcodes, coupon codes, VAT IDs, license keys, and order numbers now keep their left-to-right direction. They read the way the shopper typed them. FluentCart also keeps the parts of each price, date, and star rating together, so the currency sign stays next to the amount.

Arrow keys move through options in the direction of the page, and the price filter on the shop page runs from right to left. In the tax breakdown on receipts, the amounts line up with the total. Stores in left-to-right languages see no change.

Notification emails and the store digest email lay out right to left too, and amounts and phone numbers read in the correct order. FluentCart reads the site language for emails. An admin with an English profile still sends right-to-left emails from an Arabic store.

One limit worth knowing. Custom block emails keep the alignment you set in the editor.

Receipts, order emails, and PDFs show your business IDs with your country’s labels

In many countries, an invoice must show the seller’s registration and tax numbers. FluentCart keeps them in the Business Details section of Store Settings. The section has fields for Company Name, Legal Registration ID, Seller VAT ID, and Seller Tax ID. Until now, the receipt page, the thank-you page, and order emails showed only the VAT number from your tax settings. A store without one showed no business IDs at all.

These pages and emails now list each ID you fill in. On the receipt page, the IDs appear under your company name and address. If your tax settings already print a VAT number for the order, FluentCart leaves out the Seller VAT ID line. A receipt never shows two VAT numbers.

The labels depend on the country in your store address. A Slovak store shows IČO, DIČ, and IČ DPH. A Czech store shows IČO and DIČ. A German store shows St.-Nr. for the tax ID and USt-IdNr. for the VAT ID. Stores in other countries show Reg. ID, Tax ID, and VAT ID.

With FluentCart Pro, the receipt addresses block in PDF templates now shows the company name and every ID in its From column. Your saved PDF templates show the new lines without edits.

One limit worth knowing before you check old receipts. Each order keeps the IDs that were in Business Details when the shopper placed it. If you change an ID later, past receipts keep the old one. An order placed while a field was empty shows no line for that field.

For developers. fluent_cart/tax/country_business_id_labels adds a country to the label list or changes the labels for one.

Orders you create in another currency now use that currency’s prices

With Multi Currency in FluentCart Pro, shoppers pay in their own currency. Sometimes you create an order for one of them by hand, such as a phone order or a replacement. In 2.1.0, the Create Order screen asked you to enter prices in your store currency and converted them when you saved.

When you pick an Order currency now, the screen asks you to enter prices in that currency and shows the exchange rate. The product picker lists prices in the order currency, with that currency’s Price adjustment, Rounding, and Charm pricing settings. Line totals, coupons, and the order total use the same currency as you add products.

When you add a product to an existing order in another currency, FluentCart prices it at the exchange rate saved on that order.

Developers can hide the FluentCart text in the admin footer

FluentCart puts a feedback link in the WordPress admin footer on FluentCart screens. Agencies that hand a site to a client may want the WordPress default text there.

For developers. Return false from fluent_cart/admin/footer/show_text to keep the WordPress footer text on FluentCart screens.

Fixes & Stability

Receipts and emails. The tax breakdown on receipts no longer runs into the next column. On phones, the receipt page opens at full size instead of zoomed out. The date and the invoice number move below the store name, so the invoice number stays inside the card. In order emails, a store name that wraps to two lines no longer touches the order date.

Checkout and storefront. On block themes with a narrow content width, such as Twenty Twenty-Five, the order summary stacks each item’s image, name, and price. On-page checkouts in FluentCart Pro stack their product rows the same way. A click on an on-page checkout product row no longer leaves a cropped outline around it. The product popup that opens from a product card now works on Elementor, Bricks, and Divi pages and on pages that show the customer portal. In the shop list view, product photos fill their column with no gap below.

Updates and admin. Some stores first installed before version 1.3.20 saw an error after updating to 2.1.0. On those stores, FluentCart never created the storage behind the Retention report, and 2.2.0 creates it during the update. Admin color pickers, such as the colors in the Appearance settings, now show the area where you choose a color. On an existing order, a second coupon applied right after the first no longer removes the first one. In Settings, Compliance has its own icon and no longer looks like Roles and Permissions.

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