Has this module been tested with ThirtyBees version 1.4.0 ?  This version is not shown on the compatibility list.
Does it function for the United Kingdom?  The UK is not shown on the demo.

Best wishes,

Ian

4.0.0 - 09/16/2026

  • New feature: Google promotions feed: publish your discount vouchers so Google displays a "special offer" link below your Shopping ads
  • 9 new target countries aligned with the official Google Merchant Center list: Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe, for a total of 71 countries
  • Fixed the missing United Kingdom flag on shops where the country ISO code is uk instead of gb
  • Module archive reduced by more than half: the flags of countries Google does not support were never displayed and weighed 2.8 MB
  • New "Promotions" tab: every cart rule is audited, the ones Google cannot announce safely are blocked with an explicit reason
  • Cart rules reserved for one customer, expired, limited to some products or without an expressible discount are never published
  • Supported offer types: percentage off, amount off, free shipping and free gift, with minimum purchase amount and validity dates
  • Editable public title per promotion, because the internal name of a cart rule is rarely suitable for shoppers
  • The promotions feed is regenerated together with its product feed and inherits the same protection: secret fingerprint, atomic write and gzip
  • A promotions feed with nothing to announce is now published as a valid empty document instead of being deleted: a deleted file turned a URL declared for scheduled fetch into a 404, which Merchant Center reports as a data source error
  • Saving the Promotions tab no longer regenerates the feeds: each one now has its own Generate button, and the feed table says how many promotions are ready for that country
  • New feature: New option "Protect the feed URL": a secret fingerprint is added to the feed file name so nobody can download your catalog, prices and stocks from a guessable address
  • New "Renew the security key" action: deletes every generated feed and invalidates leaked feed and CRON URLs
  • The export directory is now protected by an .htaccess file (no directory listing, no access to feeds being written)
  • Feeds are now written to a temporary file and swapped in atomically: Google can no longer fetch a truncated feed during generation
  • New option "Compress the feed (gzip)": generates a .xml.gz feed, natively supported by Google Merchant Center
  • New feature: New "Diagnostic" tab gathering the product image audit, the feed quality report and the database index check
  • Product image audit: detects images below 500x500 pixels before the Google deadline of January 31, 2027, measured on the original file and not on theme thumbnails
  • Feed quality report: products kept out of the feed are counted by cause (empty description, no image, empty title, shop root category) with up to 50 examples each
  • Products exported without a brand are now reported as at risk of Google disapproval
  • Feed download is now authenticated with a constant-time key comparison
  • FAQ tab rewritten: 40 questions grouped into 9 themes, all answers visible at once with no accordion to unfold
  • Module interface available in 18 languages: every screen, help text, FAQ and changelog entry, not just the configuration labels
  • The Feed tab is now named and translated in every language: its label was the French word "Flux", left untranslated in most back offices
  • Contact support from a form modal: the message and the installation details are mailed by the shop itself, so a back office with no mail client configured can still reach support
  • The DataTables library is no longer loaded from an external CDN: the category table now uses the in-house medTable library shipped with the module, so the back office works without Internet access and nothing is requested from a third party
  • The country selector of the Categories tab is now hidden when the Google product category option is off: it only switches the column that option displays, so it had nothing to drive
