About Sylius

Sylius is an open-source ecommerce framework built on PHP's Symfony framework. Rather than a ready-made store, it gives developers well-structured, tested components and APIs for products, carts, checkout, promotions and orders, so agencies can build custom B2C, B2B and marketplace projects without fighting a rigid platform. The MIT-licensed core is free to self-host, and Sylius Plus adds enterprise features such as multi-source inventory, returns and advanced B2B, with commercial support. It suits Symfony developers and agencies serving mid-market and enterprise brands. For merchants without developers it is a poor fit, since there is no hosted service or theme store, and the plugin ecosystem is smaller than Magento's. It runs on your own servers.

Best for: Symfony agencies and developers building custom mid-market commerce.
