Looking for a way to create a tailor-made and efficient e-commerce site? Sylius is the solution. It is an open source PHP framework linked to Symfony.
A Framework, which translates as “working framework”, is a development base which integrates a certain number of functions to simplify the developer's work.
Un Framework issu de Symfony
Symfony is a Framework that uses the PHP language. It allows you to create complex websites or applications. Symfony is characterized by what are called “bundles”. These are actually small sets of additional features that can be added or removed and which save time during development. Indeed, this avoids having to develop these functions from scratch.
Sylius: a flexible and customizable solution
Sylius natively embeds Symfony e-commerce bundles in order to create an “e-commerce base” that meets the functional needs of many e-commerce sites.
It comes in the form of simple and functional administration, with a back office that can be customized according to needs. The customization of the interface is almost complete, which allows you to have unique and tailor-made projects.
Being linked to Symfony, the interface inherits all the bundles available from the Framework. It is possible to install additional bundles to develop a project. This allows you to add specific functions without having to develop them. In addition, it is possible to select only the functions necessary for the project: this reduces the work space and allows you to gain speed.
There are official bundles that can be viewed on the Symfony website, but also other bundles from the community. Indeed, and these are other advantages of this framework, Sylius also has a fairly responsive developer community.
Thanks to a Rest API, Sylius allows you to integrate the frontend regardless of the technology used (Angular, React, etc.). The interface is also compatible with external information systems such as CRM, ERP, emailing solution and numerous payment modules.
For the more specific needs of creating an e-commerce site, there are a number of additional Sylius plugins to add depending on the project.
Ultimately, Sylius is the ideal solution for complex or tailor-made projects. Indeed, the modularity of the interface allows great freedom in the management and development of the project. Sylius therefore appears to be an effective solution for quickly and simply carrying out specific or complex e-commerce projects.
