The database and code has already been prepared to support store credit, so it should now be possible to build a module on top of it. There is currently no back-office interface for it yet. We also expect to release a gift card module in the coming weeks, which will make use of this functionality.

The release happened a little earlier than the email and forum announcement, mainly because of the holiday period. We wanted to avoid communicating the release at a time when we would have limited availability to interact with users and quickly respond to any issues, especially for less experienced users. We also wanted to make a few further improvements to the PayPal integration before actively communicating the release more broadly. On the other hand, we did not want to hold back the release itself for too long. Waiting until after the holidays could have caused further delays, as development time would then also need to be divided between other modules and priorities. So we decided to release it first, while postponing the broader communication until we were in a better position to support users properly.

Hi all, From 19 June 2026, EU law (Directive 2023/2673) requires every online store selling to consumers to show a clearly visible withdrawal button, so customers can cancel an eligible order without digging through contact forms or legal text. To make compliance painless, we built tbwithdrawalbutton and it's completely free for everyone. No license, no tiers, no catch. What it does Adds a single, prominent "Withdraw my order" button on a clean standalone page. Walks the customer through a simple, guided withdrawal request. Automatically routes the request to your customer service works with both the core CS system and the tbticketsystem module (release for members in upcomming weeks). Matches your shop's look and feel out of the box, including styled confirmation e-mails. Why it's worth installing It's the law - from June 2026 a withdrawal button is mandatory for B2C distance sales in the EU. Less support overhead - requests arrive structured and in the right place. More buyer trust - a transparent, easy cancellation process increases confidence. Download / install 👉 Get it here: https://github.com/thirtybees/tbwithdrawalbutton Feedback and questions welcome in this thread. tbwithdrawalbutton-v1.6.0.zip

I think exactly the same, but do you know if you can block the ads from google? Or suggested next video when you have it enbeded? I dont think you can block it? Not so experienced with it 😉

Are there people publishing video's alongside products? And then the bigger ones like 200mb? What is the best way to go? Some tips are welcome 😉

Very nice summary 🤩!

No one can know everything. Where can you add SEO text to this page. So normal text blocks? I though maybe hidden in module? I thought in SEO & URL but I cant see it in both. Perplexity says I have to edit it in template... Really its not possible from BO 🫣?

There is also a basic module available when you are a member. Its just not published jet. DM me and we can speed this up. @vir Nice to see you have TB modules on sale!

The old module still should work. The new one is almost ready but time is limited. We could boost this by some funding from the community. If you are interested helping there, as wel as some testing please DM me. And maybe you are already testing it 😉 ?

I would wait a bit... Give it 2 weeks minimum.

Just wondering what is BBD? Tariff codes we wanted to implement but it was pushed off the road map because it was to simple to implement. Someone could do it himself if it would be needed. Will put it on again, now I see there where more people interested in it.

We checked again and did some DB clean up. Maybe it works if not please make the donation manual and I will handle the member subscription also manual. https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=SDAYT6DWZRCSS

I checked the module 2 times but did no see it. Now looked again with a fresh look and found it works flawlessly! Tnx.

I will check it ad come back to you, sorry for waiting!

I am wondering if someone managed to get the VAT calculated percental(%) on the products. According to EU rules this is allowed and could be a nice saving in our case as we always calculate high. While sometimes also ship product in the low vat rate. It should work as follows. For example: 10 euro product 9% 10 euro product 20% 5 euro shipping cost incl. vat. : 50% 9% and 50% 20% 0,20 euro vat 9% (2,30) 0.42 euro vat 20% (2,08) Could be a new VAT rate in shipper settings.

Tnx, your input is much appreciated!

Are there people using Litespeed as server and if so what is your experience with thirty bees and Litespeed?

To make your catalogue/products have all data, you could use the lists module or one of the modules you name to find all products without wholesale price? Solves it a bit. I am wondering if i/we like to have an overview of all products showing there margin and option to increase price of those products in one overview. So for example find all products with margin lower than 10%. See a list see wholesale price and sales price and margin and increase it.

Its a bug indeed, added to the backlog!

@the.rampage.rado I think you summarize it nicely. The supporter and general income is very limited. I think it covers less than 0,5% of the cost we are making. @zen Yes it can be in money and time. I agree ads are a pain in the ass. 😉 Rudely said. I don't think the advertisements in module selection (and in general) are any intrusive and I don't think 15 USD for a installation is a lot of many for the modules you get and the modules that will come in the future. They will increase income and save time operating a store. We like to give but also built a community, and we need some small income to grow TB and maintain it. I take your comments serious as devoted member and will keep them in mind! Overall I think it is a very complete system which still functions very well without any payment. But I am sure any seller will hugely benefit from the modules!

You can use the hour in the same month and 1 one hour we can do small improvements or help with hopefully a big effect. Currently if not used it will be used for general improvements of the project. I love the idea of donating the hours to a project. Will think about it and keep it mind (we would need to built some infrastructure for it)!
