Both bring to the table years of e-commerce experience and the know-how to deliver a better software package for merchants.\u00a0 The core belief in thirty bees as a company is being open and transparent while creating great software. Everything that thirty bees will create will be open source and free. Features will not be left out of our software so that we can sell them back to users, this is not how we do business.<\/p>\n<p>One key area thirty bees focuses on internally is automation. Taking the time to set automation flows, in the beginning, pays off great dividends in the future. This allows us to accomplish a lot for a small team. It keeps us free from mindless tasks like pushing updates to our store when we build modules. Our automation flow with GitHub handles this for us automatically. This is just one example of how we can produce so much and still be hyper-focused on creating a great software package.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">There is a better way<\/h2>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.5 ) );\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">The vision<\/h2>\n<p>thirty bees is an open source e-commerce company founded around one basic principle, listening to our merchant&#8217;s needs. After years of working with pre-made e-commerce software, we realized there has to be a better way. A better way to handle bugs, feature requests, and integrations with other platforms. This is the reason we forked into thirty bees, to start filling this void in the marketplace, to give our merchant&#8217;s uncompromising quality and stability in their shops.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Innovation has been lost on many e-commerce platforms, this is something we are bringing back. Innovative features help merchants sell products. Whether it is better SEO features, speed enhancements, or modernizing underlying libraries, these all translate to a better experience\u00a0for your customers. It also leads to less shop administration time by merchants as well, giving you time to grow their business in other ways.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">This is better e-commerce<\/h2>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-bottom:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-padding-bottom:20px;--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><style type='text\/css'>.reading-box-container-1 .element-bottomshadow:before,.reading-box-container-1 .element-bottomshadow:after{opacity:0.7;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-reading-box-container reading-box-container-1\" style=\"--awb-title-color:#333c4e;--awb-margin-top:0px;--awb-margin-bottom:84px;\"><div class=\"reading-box\" style=\"background-color:#faf9f8;border-width:1px;border-color:#e7e4e2;border-left-width:3px;border-left-color:var(--primary_color);border-style:solid;\"><a class=\"button fusion-button button-default fusion-button-default-size button-default-size button-flat fusion-desktop-button fusion-tagline-button continue fusion-desktop-button-margin continue-right\" style=\"-webkit-box-shadow:none;-moz-box-shadow:none;box-shadow:none;border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/thirtybees\" target=\"_self\"><span>Get involved<\/span><\/a><h2>Help Support thirty bees on patreon<\/h2><div class=\"reading-box-description fusion-reading-box-additional\">Your donation helps us create better e-commerce software for you!<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><a class=\"button fusion-button button-default fusion-button-default-size button-default-size button-flat fusion-mobile-button continue-right\" style=\"-webkit-box-shadow:none;-moz-box-shadow:none;box-shadow:none;border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/thirtybees\" target=\"_self\"><span>Get involved<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thirtybees.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thirtybees.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thirtybees.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thirtybees.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thirtybees.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/thirtybees.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3350,"href":"https:\/\/thirtybees.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72\/revisions\/3350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thirtybees.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
