Growing Businesses and Sylius: How to Know When It’s Time to Switch Platforms

According to a 15min article, the open-source e-commerce platform Sylius, built on the Symfony framework, is rapidly gaining popularity among medium and large businesses looking for a flexible and highly customizable solution for complex e-commerce operations. The article explores why this platform is considered one of the most innovative choices for technologically advanced teams and companies with non-standard needs — from extensive product catalog management to sophisticated integrations with ERP, CRM, and other systems.

Ričardas Šmaižys, founder of PrestaRock, emphasizes that Sylius is not a one-size-fits-all solution. For businesses with a simple product catalog and relatively low turnover, it is often more economical to choose traditional platforms such as PrestaShop, Magento, or OpenCart. However, companies that have already outgrown these standard solutions, deal with large-scale processes, or require highly customized store logic can achieve significantly greater efficiency with Sylius.

The article also presents insights from the Sylius creators themselves: the platform stands out for its modular architecture, automated testing, high code quality, and complete freedom to adapt it to specific business needs. Sylius offers both a free Standard version and an extended Sylius Plus, where companies pay only for the modules they actually need.

Sylius is therefore a strong choice for businesses that value architectural stability, long-term scalability, technological sophistication, and full control over their e-commerce infrastructure.
