Sylius offers a fresh approach to building online stores, focusing on flexibility and developer-friendliness. PHP ecommerce applications are few, and most of them aren’t liked by developers at all: Magento, Woocommerce, Shopify, etc.

Paweł Jędrzejewski started the Sylius project in 2011 as an open-source initiative. It grew from a set of e-commerce components into a full-fledged headless e-commerce framework built on Symfony, officially launching its first stable version in 2017.

What is Sylius?

Think of Sylius as a toolkit for creating tailored e-commerce solutions, or your own white label version of Shopify. Key features include:

  • Modular architecture, allowing use of individual components or the full stack
  • Built on Symfony, making it familiar for many PHP developers
  • Powerful API for headless commerce setups
  • Flexible product, order, and customer management
  • Multi-channel and multi-currency support out of the box
