FluentCart
A newer WordPress store plugin built for speed, with subscriptions and a store you host yourself.
FluentCart is an online store plugin for WordPress. It sells physical goods, digital downloads and subscriptions, with Stripe and PayPal built in and a long list of other payment options available.
Like WooCommerce, it runs on your own website and hosting, so you keep your orders and customers. Unlike WooCommerce, it was designed more recently around a purpose-built database, which is meant to keep a store quick as the order list grows. It also brings reports, inventory tracking, tax and shipping settings, and customer accounts.
FluentCart comes from WPManageNinja, the team behind Fluent Forms and FluentSMTP, so it fits neatly with those tools. It has a free version and a paid Pro version. It is newer than WooCommerce, so it has fewer add-ons and a smaller track record.
Why FluentCart Is in Our Stack
In Practice
FluentCart is on our shortlist for fast, self-hosted shops that sell subscriptions or digital products. It’s an easy fit when a client already uses other Fluent tools, like Fluent Forms or FluentSMTP.
Built for Speed
A purpose-built database helps the store stay quick as products and orders grow.
Subscriptions Included
Recurring billing, pausing and cancelling are part of the plugin.
Your Store, Your Hosting
Orders and customers live on your own website, not a rented platform.
