    This is my first use of Cart2Cart migration process and this company is awesome! My company managed lots of migration manually before trying C2C and actually we love them. Support is the best ever (thank all!) and service is A +++.

    Absolute BEST! Very inexpensive (was quoted $1500 from another design company, compared to only $140), lightning fast speed with their responses, knowledgeable, and of course saved me a ton of quality time I don’t have. Will be using them again for an additional website.

    Used Cart2Cart to migrate https://www.tesland.com. Ideal saves you a ton of time. Even have the option to do it multiple times so you can set up the new site with the correct data in it. And then before you go live with the new site, you can import the latest data again.

    The Thirty Bees Monthly Pulse: A Focus on Foundational Strength and Strategic Stability

    In a volatile e-commerce landscape dominated by the relentless feature sprints of SaaS giants, Thirty Bees continues to carve out its strategic position not through flashy announcements, but through a deliberate focus on foundational excellence. This month's analysis reveals a platform doubling down on its core value proposition: providing a high-performance, stable, and community-driven alternative for discerning merchants. The narrative for Thirty Bees is not one of explosive growth, but of calculated, long-term investment in the technological bedrock that underpins sustainable e-commerce success.

    Consolidating Its Position as the Stable Open-Source Haven

    While Thirty Bees does not command the market share of platforms like Shopify or Magento, its influence within its target segment is solidifying. It is increasingly viewed as the logical and stable upgrade path for the vast number of merchants on legacy PrestaShop 1.6 installations. Rather than chasing new market segments, Thirty Bees is strengthening its hold as the go-to solution for businesses seeking to escape the performance bottlenecks and upgrade complexities of its predecessor. This month, the platform's stability narrative has been its most powerful market differentiator, attracting merchants who prioritize total cost of ownership and operational reliability over fleeting trends.

    A Foundational Leap Forward in Core Architecture

    The most significant development this period has been the continued rollout and stabilization of Thirty Bees 1.4.0, which finalized the platform's migration to full PHP 8.1 compatibility. While this may appear as a simple version update to the uninitiated, it represents a monumental investment in the platform's future. For merchants, this translates directly into tangible benefits: significantly faster page load times, reduced server resource consumption, and a more responsive back-office experience. This is not merely a maintenance update; it is a strategic architectural enhancement that ensures Thirty Bees remains a competitive, high-performance engine for years to come.

    Fostering Ecosystem Resilience and Quality

    The Thirty Bees ecosystem thrives on quality over quantity. Instead of a sprawling, often-unvetted app marketplace, the platform's strength lies in its robust core feature set and the high quality of community-vetted modules. This month saw continued maintenance and compatibility updates for essential modules, ensuring they function flawlessly with the new PHP 8.1 core. This deliberate approach reduces the risk of software conflicts and security vulnerabilities, a critical concern for merchants who cannot afford the downtime associated with poorly coded third-party extensions. The focus remains on providing a reliable, integrated toolset that works out of the box.

    The Premier Feature: Long-Term Viability

    In a strategic move, Thirty Bees' flagship "feature" this month is not a new front-end gimmick but a promise of longevity. The commitment to a modern technology stack, exemplified by the PHP 8.1 upgrade, is the single most important value proposition for its target user. It solves a critical business problem: de-risking the merchant's technology investment. By ensuring the core platform is secure, supported, and performant, Thirty Bees allows business owners to focus on marketing and operations, confident that their e-commerce foundation will not become obsolete in the near future.

    Fortifying Trust Through Proactive Security

    Security remains a cornerstone of the Thirty Bees philosophy. The aforementioned move to a modern PHP version is, in itself, a critical security enhancement. It ensures the platform benefits from the latest security patches and community support from the PHP development team, effectively closing off vulnerabilities present in older, end-of-life versions. This proactive security posture is essential for building trust, particularly with merchants handling significant transaction volumes and sensitive customer data. It signals to the market that Thirty Bees is a safe harbor for serious e-commerce operations.

    Refining Global Commerce Capabilities

    Thirty Bees has always possessed strong native internationalization features, a legacy of its European roots. Recent maintenance releases have focused on refining these capabilities. Minor but crucial bug fixes related to multi-currency rounding, VAT calculations for cross-border EU sales, and translation string management have been addressed. These incremental improvements strengthen the platform's utility for global merchants, ensuring a seamless and accurate shopping experience for customers regardless of their location or currency, thereby reducing friction in the international checkout process.

    The Strategic Adopter Profile: The Mid-Market Merchant

    While no major household name was announced, we are observing a clear pattern of adoption from a key business profile: the established, mid-market European merchant currently operating on an aging or unsupported platform like Magento 1 or an older PrestaShop version. A recent, albeit quiet, migration of a German specialty auto parts distributor exemplifies this trend. For a business like this, the choice of Thirty Bees is strategic. It offers an escape from vendor lock-in, full control over their code and data, and superior performance without the enterprise-level price tag. They are not choosing Thirty Bees for its brand name, but for its engineering excellence and predictable cost structure.
