thirty bees 1.7 is here! 🐝

We’re excited to announce the release of thirty bees 1.7! This version brings a wide range of new features, powerful merchant tools, better performance insights, improved security, and a stronger foundation for the future of the platform.

Better tools for merchants

Managing your store is now easier with several new improvements:

Session-based profiling
Find performance bottlenecks without affecting your customers. You can enable profiling for your own session only, analyse real page performance, and optimise your store without turning on debug mode for everyone.

Packs with combinations
Product packs can now include combinations. Create more flexible bundles with specific sizes, colours, or variants exactly as your customers need them.

Advanced list filters
Back-office lists are more powerful than before. Create custom filters for orders, products, and customers to find what you need faster.

Built-in credit system
Issue store credit to customers and automate voucher generation while staying compliant with tax regulations.

Official PayPal certified module
thirty bees 1.7 includes a new official PayPal module using the latest PayPal APIs, providing a modern and future-proof payment solution.

Smoother daily workflows

Many improvements make everyday store management easier:

• PDF documents such as invoices can now be displayed directly in the browser.

• Create orders directly from abandoned guest carts.

• Attach files to customer service messages, such as invoices, manuals, photos, or return labels.

• Improved pack handling across the back office, orders, delivery slips, and dynamic pack synchronisation.

• More flexible back-office order creation, improved module warnings, better specific price management, custom export filenames, and clearer multistore order views.

Better product and shipping management

Products now support universal compliance attributes, including:

• HS codes

• Country of origin

• Age verification

• Dangerous goods information (UN number, hazard class, and packing group)

These structured fields make it easier to manage shipping, customs, and invoicing requirements.

Product combinations also received improvements: dimensions such as width, height, and depth can now change per combination. This allows carrier selection and shipping costs to be calculated more accurately for larger variants.

Reliability, security, and future improvements

thirty bees 1.7 introduces automatic database backups with configurable retention periods, helping protect your store and data.

The platform also includes preparation work for PHP 8.4 compatibility, ensuring thirty bees continues to run on modern and secure server environments.

For developers, version 1.7 adds new hooks and extension points, including improvements for payment options, webservice resources, delivery options, contact forms, custom KPIs, admin order buttons, and namespaced Object Model hooks.

As always, this release also contains many smaller improvements, bug fixes, quality-of-life updates, and multiple security fixes.
