# FluentCart Enhancer

> A WordPress plugin that enhances the FluentCart checkout process, product presentation, and product licensing experience.

## Requirements

* WordPress 6.9+
* PHP 8.1+
* [FluentCart](https://influencewp.com/plugin/e-commerce/fluentcart/)

## Installation

1. Install and activate **FluentCart**.
2. Download the latest **FluentCart Enhancer** version from [your Pine Digital account](https://pinedigital.co/account/downloads).
3. In WordPress: **Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin**, upload **FluentCart Enhancer**, and **activate it**.​

## Features​

### Checkout Login

FluentCart is missing a feature that some consider essential: the ability for guests to log in during the checkout process. **FluentCart Enhancer gives you this feature so guests log in from the FluentCart checkout page and stay on checkout after signing in.**

### Default Global Product Image

FluentCart doesn't let you choose a global product image, so FluentCart products without photos show your branding instead of a blank placeholder. **FluentCart Enhancer gives you this feature so catalogs, checkout, and storefront blocks stay on-brand without uploading the same asset to every product.**

### Hide Product Gallery Thumbnails

FluentCart doesn't let you hide gallery thumbnails. **FluentCart Enhancer lets you remove the small image row under FluentCart’s main product photo so your product pages are less cluttered.**

### Disable Product Image Lightbox

For some stores, allowing shoppers to open product images in a full-screen lightbox when they click the main product image doesn't make sense. **FluentCart Enhancer disables product image lightboxes storewide for FluentCart product galleries**

### **HTML Short Description**

FluentCart’s short description field is plain text only. **FluentCart Enhancer gives you a compact rich editor (bold, italics, lists, and links) that also respects dark mode, so product blurbs can mean and do more.**

### Product Description Links Page Selector

FluentCart allows you to add links to a product's **long description**, but you must manually enter the URLs, which is prone to errors and causes context switching. **FluentCart Enhancer gives you a page selector to save you time and help prevent errors.**

This also works with short descriptions, thanks to FluentCart Enhancer's **HTML Short Description** feature.

### **Manual License Keys**

FluentCart Pro lets you distribute license keys for your products, but you need to create orders to obtain them. **FluentCart Enhancer lets you create license keys without needing to place an order.**
