Should I set up a store on ThirtyBees?

Question

Prestashop

Hey! I recently found out about the Thirty Bees fork. Tell me, is it worth contacting?

Answer 1

Half a year ago I answered a similar question in this PrestaShop FAQ . Since then, little has changed.
In short, for a new site, take PrestaShop 1.7. If you have a site on an outdated version of PrestaShop (1.6, 1.5 or even older), then you need to evaluate the possibility of migrating to PrestaShop 1.7 and, if this transition is very time consuming, then most likely you should upgrade to Thirty Bees , because it will be easier to update the system, adapt the theme, modules and specific developments. Why do I say "probably"? - because it is often easier and cheaper to reproduce an old simple site on a modern platform than to try to revive it.

Answer 2

If you start a new business, then immediately on PS1.7, but like ThirtyBees (like PS1.6), then this will work. The main income is to bring.
If PS1.6 is already working, then continue to earn with it. I have only done little things for PS1.6, and there is no sense in remaking on PS1.7 as an end in itself, everything is beneficial anyway.
If PS1.5, then you have to think about how to move to 1.6 or 1.7, I don’t remember now, but something allowed me to implement it, although everything was done in a simple way with us.
And advice from myself, I won’t say what exactly to choose, but take it that has already been run in for years, where there are a lot of modules to take it for your business. Of course, you shouldn’t cram a lot of different things out of the modules, and then just improve and hone the selected engine, make the earning tool reliable and forget the transition to a new branch.
