What it is
Sylius is an open-source, headless eCommerce platform for mid-market and enterprise brands seeking custom commerce solutions. Its framework supports B2C and B2B models, including demanding business requirements, and provides a customizable REST API built with API Platform for headless frontends and microservice architectures. Sylius Standard is a Symfony application with Sylius core as a dependency; it can be installed with Composer or Docker and run on a standard VPS. Docker and Kubernetes are also options for cloud deployments. The Addons marketplace lists plugins and integrations for third-party connections, and the platform supports digital products and omnichannel sales. Sylius Plus adds commercial modules such as advanced multi-store, returns management, multi-source inventory, loyalty, partial shipment and request for quotation. Standard is released under the MIT license with community support and no response-time guarantee. Standard has no native quotation process, so customers cannot initiate online price inquiries. Plus lists SLA-backed support with a one-day response time and starts from €800 / year.
