2026-10-16 ยท Creator Publishing Hub, CPH Pro Access
Software prices now come from the existing FluentCart catalog, with a Free-to-Pro pricing link.
What changed
- Homepage and pricing cards read saved Regular, Pro and Developer product prices. Administrators receive direct links to the price editor.
- Free installations link to current license offers. Unavailable pricing is labeled rather than replaced with a hardcoded amount.
- Internal system audio remains a separate service; existing license terms and owner allowances are preserved.
Verification
- 144 offline catalog, client, theme, gift and audio checks passed. PHP syntax and staged source scans passed.
- 24 read-only checks compared the candidate catalog against native FluentCart products without changing prices, orders or licenses.
- The installed merchant, theme integration and eight existing connectors match the reviewed payload. Fresh checks preserved seven Developer lifetime installations and the existing Free exception, together with saved license, consent and payment settings.
- Canonical public homepage, pricing and offer responses match current native catalog prices after targeted page-cache refresh. Independent browser verification confirmed all three annual prices, unavailable checkout and the retained navigation.
- Controlled native Free-account rendering verified the Buy a license link, current offer prices, existing-key form and administrator-only access. Browser verification confirmed the pricing administration page and its Pro shortcut open the native FluentCart draft editor with an editable price and subscription disabled. The existing first-visit welcome redirect cleared naturally; no shop configuration or product changes were saved.
Rollout
Deployed and verified on the product Hub and all eight inventoried connector installations. Canonical public pricing reads native FluentCart prices, and the backend price-editor shortcut is verified. Existing licenses and payment settings are preserved; payment collection remains disabled.
Updating
- Update the merchant catalog first, then its theme integration and existing customer connectors.
- One payment covers one year, with no automatic renewal. This release does not enable payment collection or purchased-license fulfillment.
Scope and limitations
- Suite paid checkout and fulfillment remain in preparation. Existing keys can still be activated.
- Separate OG offers and optional add-on mappings are outside this three-plan update.
