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)!

Yes will do this in upcoming months is the plan. We also looking for some new post about why you should choose TB. Maybe someone is willing to invest sometime there?

Its a service / rent fee. To our considerations a very good value for the cost. Just one member and whole team can use it. And some as the purchase module can be big time savers. Also the fee makes it possible to update the modules to the requests and needs of users. is there any possibility to try the new modules without susbscription ? No but you can take a subscription for a month or so. Is it possible to deactivate all ads for premium modules on the listing module page ? Yes become a silver member or higher.

You can see what products use the Attributes / Features list. Can be handy to merge, clean up, ect. What was your suggestion with price?

Thanks and fixed 🙂

We use is but will soon move back and rely fully on ThirtyBees. We use its warehouse part but we have build a new WMS module for Thirtybees. Maybe it is also interesting for you? It was developed on commercial version as Odoo community from itself can not even work with EAN and so on 😅

Its in use fully, tested for few months now, we plan to work out how to release it soon.

I use: Premium Google Tag Manager v2.3.2 - door ReactionCode

@led24ee We have looked into this issue i can assure you. But it is not easy to solve, as it potentially will cause a lot off issues for other users. We could plan a meeting and discuss this issue once again but it probably takes a quite some effort to fix it. And prevent data issues with you and other users.

Are you willing to do that?

We are happy to present to you the latest version of Thirty Bees - 1.4. The main advantage of this version is the full support of PHP 8.0 and 8.1 If you need help with upgrading your store, feel free to contact us. It saves you work and you will support Thirty Bees with it. Many merchants preceded you already! Please note that PHP 5.6 is not supported anymore, so please upgrade in time to avoid downtime of your store. Beside that we have done many bigger and small improvements. Some enhancements in the webservice as well as tracking packs sold (its parts), some enhancement in Features and some bug fixing. Please find them all in the change log or under this email. Furthermore I would like to tell you a bit about what we have also been busy with. We have been working on quite some modules what should make your work more efficient in the future. Those modules will be slowly released in the upcoming months. 1) Advanced error monitoring, which makes it easy to monitor in depth errors in your system. 2) A Full scale Warehouse Management System module, which will make picking and packing very easy. Fully integrated with all functions you need in an ecommerce warehouse. It will be perfect for anyone that has multiple people working in the warehouse. It will save you a lot of time, mistakes and will save you money from day one. If you are interested, please drop us an email to discuss your implementation. 3) Native Thirty Bees Mollie payment provider module 4) Advanced Support Ticketing system with optional communication channels like WhatsApp, telegram, email, etc. 5) FAQ Snippets: With this module you can easily add FAQ lists to product and category pages. Search engines can show this information in their result page as it has the snippets markup. By adding links to the text you can attract more people to you store and increase sales. Must have for every ecommerce site! 6) List flow module: Allows you to create dynamic lists of products. Products can be automatically added or removed from the lists when they meet some criteria. For example when text changes. This can be used to add provide list of products that require attention to your translator, photographer or marketeer. This is very powerful module, but the initial settings can be overwhelming. You might want some support for setting it up. Must have for every ecommerce store with lots of products, translations, domains, and employees! 7) History logging: This module logs most changes on product level and who did make the change. Some examples are price changes, text changes, meta data changes and much more. Must have for tracking changes on product level by different employees. And don’t forget thirty bees is an open source platform, maintained and kept alive by Merchants and enthusiastic developers. Any donation you make will be much appreciated and will 100% be used for the development of thirty bees. Buy us a beer or become a backer and show us thirty bees has a value for you.

yes, yes that's basics 🙂

Yes indeed but very elaborate, more like a wms (Warehouse management system). Lots is covered but maybe you have your own requests which we forgot.

As expected we now started working on warehouse (WMS) for Thirty bees. Please post your requests in this topic so we might be able to add them as well! Picking will be done by app and packing by web interface. Full stock location system will also be part of it.
