Some of the bug fixes in 1.0.5 include: Removing PHP unserialize to make [...]

American Tax Decision

2018-08-23T07:20:18-06:00June 22nd, 2018|

The crux of the decision that was made, is that a business no longer needs a nexus in a state to be liable for collecting that state's sales tax. If you want to read more about the decision and some of its implications, this [...]

As we are finishing up our GDPR module, I would like to point out that we do have a solution already that will make most sites GDPR compliant.   Setting Cookiebot up Once you install the module, you will need to go to the Cookiebot site and register.

Crowdfunding a new updater

2018-08-23T07:25:43-06:00May 7th, 2018|

Its time for another crowdfunding adventure. Last week we released thirty bees 1.0.4 without an updater. This is how all new releases are going to be released until we can have more time to focus on the updater.   Why do we need to crowdfund an updater? The reason is simple, time.
