FluentCart 1.3.15: Gutenberg Email Editor, Extended Email Notifications and more

Version 1.3.15 continues the steady refinement of FluentCart’s operational side. This release focuses heavily on how stores communicate with customers through email and how recurring payments are handled through reminders. Alongside these additions, we’ve improved the EU VAT reverse charge experience during checkout and resolved several issues affecting CRM integrations, order calculations, and subscription notifications.
Below is a closer look at what shipped in this version.
Email Editor Powered by Gutenberg

One of the biggest additions in this release is the new Gutenberg-based Email Editor.
Emails play a central role in any store. They deliver order confirmations, subscription updates, payment reminders, and onboarding instructions for digital products. Yet in many platforms, editing those messages means navigating rigid template fields or modifying code.
With FluentCart 1.3.15, email templates can now be edited using the same Gutenberg block system familiar to WordPress users.
Instead of dealing with static template structures, store owners can structure their transactional emails visually. Sections can be organized using headings, paragraphs, and layout blocks, making it easier to present information clearly.
This is particularly useful when emails contain more than a simple receipt. Subscription services, software licenses, and digital downloads often require additional instructions or account details. The new editor makes it much easier to format those messages in a way that is readable and organized.
The goal is straightforward: editing store emails should feel as natural as editing a page.
Email Preview for Default Templates

Alongside the editor, FluentCart now includes preview support for default email templates.
When customizing transactional emails, it is common to go through several rounds of testing before the layout looks right. Previously, this often required sending test emails repeatedly to see how changes would render.
The preview feature simplifies that process.
You can now review the structure and formatting of a template directly inside the editor before sending it out. This helps store owners make adjustments quickly while ensuring that emails maintain clear formatting and consistent structure.
For businesses that rely on detailed customer communication, this feature removes much of the trial and error from template customization.
Scheduled Reminder Emails for Payments and Subscriptions
Another key addition in this release is scheduled reminder emails for payments and subscriptions.

Stores that operate on recurring billing models often need to keep customers informed about upcoming payments or installment schedules. Clear reminders help reduce missed payments and provide customers with better visibility into their billing cycles.
With this feature, FluentCart can automatically send reminder emails related to:
- Upcoming subscription renewals
- Pending installment payments
- Payment schedules associated with recurring plans
These reminders help maintain transparency throughout the subscription lifecycle and can significantly reduce confusion around billing timelines.
For stores selling subscriptions, memberships, or installment-based products, this becomes an important part of maintaining smooth customer communication.
Improved EU VAT Reverse Charge Experience
Version 1.3.15 also includes an improvement to the EU VAT reverse charge experience during checkout.
Handling VAT correctly across European transactions is important for businesses operating internationally. This update refines how the reverse charge process appears and behaves during checkout, helping ensure that the tax logic is applied clearly and accurately when eligible customers enter their VAT details.
The goal of this update is to make the experience more straightforward for both the merchant and the customer, reducing potential confusion during the checkout process.
EU VAT Block in Checkout
Added the missing EU VAT block to the checkout flow. Stores operating under EU VAT rules will now reliably see the VAT input field appear when required during checkout.
Fixes and Stability Updates
This release also includes several fixes that improve reliability across checkout, integrations, and customer data handling.
CRM Integration Fields
An issue where certain fields such as phone number, postcode, and state were not being properly passed to CRM integrations has been resolved. Customer data now syncs correctly across connected systems.
Discount and Order Calculations
Two separate calculation issues have been addressed:
- Custom checkout discount calculations are now applied correctly
- Custom order payment calculations now return the correct totals
These fixes ensure that pricing logic behaves consistently across different checkout scenarios.
Address Validation
A validation issue affecting address input has been corrected to ensure customer information is properly captured during checkout.
Customer Name Sync with WordPress
When customers updated their first or last name, the changes were not always reflected in the corresponding WordPress user record. This behavior has now been corrected so customer profile updates stay synchronized.
Timezone Handling for Emails
Email timestamps could appear incorrect for customers in certain timezones. This has been fixed so notifications reflect the correct timing relative to the customer’s location.
Subscription Reactivation Emails
A triggering issue affecting subscription reactivation emails has also been resolved. When subscriptions are reactivated, the appropriate notification is now sent reliably.
Modal Checkout Iframe Scrolling
Resolved an issue where the modal checkout iframe introduced unnecessary scrolling when billing fields were disabled. The checkout container now adjusts correctly, ensuring a smoother and cleaner modal checkout experience.
IOptional Country and State Field Validation
Corrected a validation issue where the country and state fields could still behave as required even when configured as optional. Checkout validation now properly respects optional field settings.
Shipping Address Overwriting Billing Display
Fixed a bug where selecting a shipping address could overwrite the displayed billing address during checkout. Billing and shipping details now remain properly separated and displayed accurately.
Address Validation and Shipping Name Field
Improved address validation handling and resolved a bug affecting the shipping name field. Customer shipping details are now captured and displayed correctly across checkout flows.
Product Thumbnail Display in Reports
Resolved an issue where product thumbnails were not displaying correctly in certain report views. Product images now load properly across reporting interfaces, making it easier to visually identify products while reviewing sales and performance data. This ensures reports remain both informative and easier to scan when analyzing store activity.
Closing Thoughts
FluentCart 1.3.15 strengthens two important parts of the platform: communication and billing transparency.
The new email editor and preview tools make it easier to craft clear transactional messages, while scheduled payment reminders help maintain smoother subscription workflows. Improvements to EU VAT handling and several stability fixes further refine the overall checkout and order experience.
These changes continue the ongoing effort to make FluentCart a more complete and reliable commerce system for WordPress stores.
