New module: MailChimp

2018-08-23T08:05:48-06:00May 1st, 2017|

If you are like most ecommerce shop owners you know the importance of email marketing. At thirty bees we do as well. For the last couple of months we have been working on a MailChimp module that will put your email marketing on steroids. As with all the modules that we develop it is free too, how awesome is that. What the module does In most ecommerce platforms the MailChimp module just sends subscriber information to MailChimp and calls it a day. Some send over the orders, so you can segment your subscribers by their orders too. Not ours. Ours [...]

Translation Progress

2018-08-23T08:05:56-06:00April 30th, 2017|

Over the past couple of weeks translations have been a hot topic here at thirty bees. We are trying to figure out which ones are a priority and which ones we think we can support. Ideally we would like to be able to support all the translations, but some are harder to find community members that speak / write in those languages. So we cannot guarantee that we can be translated into every language. But we are trying. So far this is where we stand. Most Translated Languages English Dutch Italian Lithuanian Languages with greater [...]

2018-08-23T08:06:38-06:00February 23rd, 2017|

One of the major improvements we have touted about thirty bees is the speed increases we have achieved. When we started digging into the codebase we saw there was a lot of room for improvement. We encountered a lot of buggy unoptimized code. We have worked on fixes both the bugs and adding much needed speed to the thirty bees as well.

What is thirty bees

2018-08-23T08:07:22-06:00January 17th, 2017|

thirty bees is a shift in the market. thirty bees is what happens when you do not listen to a community. What thirty bees is, is a fork of PrestaShop. A lot of developers in the PrestaShop ecosystem have decided that PrestaShop can no longer handle their needs. In this we have decided to start working on another project using the PrestaShop code. What is a fork? PrestaShop is open source, that means as long as you respect the license and the licensing terms, you can take the code and use it under a different project. This is the beauty of open [...]
