Choosing Sylius: When and Why

Sylius is not a one-size-fits-all eCommerce solution. It’s a developer-first framework built to serve projects where flexibility, scalability, and business-specific customization are essential.

You should consider using Sylius if these are your project needs:

🎯 Designed for Professionals

Sylius is ideal for agencies, technical teams, and experienced developers who want complete control over how their eCommerce application is built, customized, and deployed. It’s based on Symfony, so it fits naturally into modern PHP workflows.

If you're comfortable with Symfony or Laravel, you'll feel right at home with Sylius.

🏢 Mid-Market and Enterprise Fit

Sylius shines in complex B2C and B2B use cases where off-the-shelf platforms like WooCommerce or Shopify can’t scale or adapt. It’s well-suited for:

• Multi-channel retail (e.g. online shop + mobile app)

• Internationalization (multi-currency, multi-locale)

• Integration with ERPs, CRMs, PIMs

Sylius Plus is also available for advanced enterprise needs like RBAC, multi-source inventory, and more.

🎛️ Precision and Control

Sylius is fully modular and headless-ready. This means:

• You decide the business logic, checkout flow, tax rules, and promotions

• You can replace or override any service, entity, or view

• APIs are first-class, enabling custom frontends or integrations

Nothing is hardcoded — everything is configurable or extensible.

🧵 Tailored Solution

You don’t adapt your business to the platform. With Sylius, you tailor the platform to your business. Whether it's a subscription model, marketplace, or something completely unique, Sylius provides the groundwork; you build the rest.

✨ Unique Shopping Experiences

Need a custom storefront? A voice-based shopping assistant? A mobile-first product configurator?

Sylius allows you to deliver experiences that standard platforms can't offer. With modern frontend compatibility (Vue, React, Next.js, etc.) and an API-first backend, the possibilities are wide open.

• You want full development control

• You’re building a custom or complex eCommerce app

• You need to scale and integrate with other business systems

• You care about clean code, modern architecture, and testing

If your eCommerce needs are unique — Sylius is built for you.
