We are ready for ThirtyBees

Visiting our website you could discover a small yellow sign for a while now on a few of our products, indicating that the module is thirtybees compatible. This will not say a lot for many at first, so it's better to dig into it deeper.

Being straightforward, Thirty Bees is a Prestashop fork, more precisely one derived from the 1.6 version of Prestashop, which is the most stable and probably the best Prestashop version ever, even though the 1.7 is long-awaiting downloads as a stable release. But stability here or there, new things need time to mature, and this is applicable in our case too. Why to change when we can make the good even better?

Let's quote from the thirty bees wiki / about us:

thirty bees was born out of need. Need for a better e-commerce platform in the marketplace. A platform that is not heavily commercialized, where features are limited because there is a commercial opportunity in charging money for functionality. At thirty bees we strive to create the fastest, most stable, feature rich e-commerce platform. In doing this we have to listen to our merchants and provide the tools that they need to be successful. Sometimes it is a hard balancing act, but its something we are getting better at.

Since at core thirtybees is nothing more than a Prestashop 1.6 clone, the modules written for the latter are virtually working on it, except for one or two of them, mainly requiring little grinding, which is nothing more than fixing hiccups and mainly focusing on design and graphics.

So if you decide to put your brand new webshop on Prestashop 1.6, we strongly recommend the thirtybees platform that has not only become more stable since the cloning, but has also got new features in form blogs, SEO and cache modules.
