Thirty bees is a fork based on an ancient version of prestashop (1.6, released TEN years ago). While it’s much better than what prestashop was at the time of the fork, IMHO it’s better to go with prestashop 1.9 (now called 9) if you need any extra plug-in, as third party developers abandoned support for 1.6 a long time ago.

I have been working with PrestaShop since version 1.2. The current stable version is 8.1. PrestaShop offers a lot of features. You should give it a try (for free).

it’s nice and faster than woocommerce, main issue is that almost every extra feature is provided by a plugin that needs a subscription and i hate subscriptions, i prefer to get a permanent license and pay extra for a new version only if and when it’s actually updated

I tried WooCommerce. I am not a fan. A lot of plugins are free but you have to pay if you want the advanced features.

I feel that’s even worse than Woocommerce in that regard. There was a reason it was forked as thirty bees: v1.7 broke almost all the plugins and had a very slow adoption rate, and plugin developers continued to target 1.6 as it was more popular. The situation stalled for years
