help Sylius FAQ

Is Sylius a CMS like Ghost or WordPress?

No, Sylius is an e-commerce framework built on PHP, Symfony and API Platform. Ghost is primarily a publishing CMS, while Sylius supplies commerce concepts such as products, orders, shipping and promotions.

Is the open-source edition of Sylius free for commercial stores?

Yes, the core Sylius project is released under the permissive MIT License. Sylius Plus is a separate commercial offering with features such as multi-store management, returns and a B2B suite.

Does Sylius include a ready-made storefront like Shopify?

Sylius provides a foundation that developers customize rather than a turnkey hosted shop. Its APIs support headless frontends, but implementation, hosting, upgrades and integrations remain the merchant's responsibility.

Why would a team choose Sylius instead of Magento or Shopify?

Sylius suits teams that already use Symfony and need unusually deep control over checkout, catalog or fulfillment behavior. Shopify offers faster hosted setup, while Adobe Commerce provides a broader packaged enterprise feature set.
