March has been another exciting month for the Sylius ecosystem. From significant technical improvements to growing community engagement and impressive project launches, we’ve continued to make strides in our journey. Here’s a breakdown of March’s highlights.
This month, the spotlight was undeniably on the B2B Suite and Marketplace Suite – and not by accident. Both are currently being upgraded to Sylius 2.0, and we’re not just bumping versions. We’re taking this opportunity to rethink, refactor, and seriously improve them along the way.
As part of the 2.0 upgrade, we’ve revamped core B2B flows to better serve real-world business use cases:
It’s a major step toward making B2B Suit more robust, secure, and developer-friendly – all while preparing it for the long life ahead in Sylius 2.0.
Marketplace Suite is also undergoing its 2.0 transformation – and it’s getting a serious upgrade in the process:
All of this is aimed at making Marketplace Suite a truly solid foundation for modern, scalable multi-vendor platforms.
To sum it up, B2B and Marketplace are being future-proofed while the rest of the ecosystem is getting faster, more stable, and more developer-friendly. Sylius 2.0 isn’t just a version bump – it’s a full-on evolution.

This month saw an impressive set of new Sylius-powered stores go live, each demonstrating unique applications of our platform across diverse market sectors. ⬇️
After a year of development, Mobio Distribution has launched its new B2B store powered by Sylius. This impressive implementation shows just how well Sylius handles complex business needs through wise technical choices. The team built a high-performance system using Docker for easy scaling, protected it with Cloudflare against bots, and supercharged speed with Redis caching and Elastic Search Cloud. What’s really impressive is how they’re managing over 2.5 million custom price records for their trade customers, alongside custom-built systems for orders, products, inventory, and payments that connect smoothly with their warehouse operations. See the new store for yourself!

Polish diaper brand BambiBoo has migrated to Sylius, with Web Systems helping them create a new website centered around their subscription service. Customers love the new setup as it’s faster, simpler to use, and makes managing diaper deliveries a breeze. The refreshed platform is already impressing with its user-friendly approach, and it’s just the beginning. The near plans include access to a dedicated mobile app to easily adjust their subscription details, like changing diaper sizes or delivery schedules.
French wellness destination Thermes de Salins-les-Bains has launched a stunning new website that does double duty as both a compelling brand showcase and a practical eCommerce platform. Built by their long-time partner Koredge, the ThermaSalina website teaches visitors about the healing powers of their thermal waters while making it super simple to purchase gift certificates for spa treatments and wellness packages. The site runs on Koredge Smart Eshop, their custom Sylius-based solution, giving the spa both a beautiful front-end experience for customers and a powerful, streamlined back-office system that makes managing their online presence a breeze. A perfect blend of storytelling and selling that shows how versatile Sylius can be.
Dutch Apple reseller OfficeNext has rolled out a lightning-fast new shopping platform built on what they’re calling “Best of Technology” – an impressive Sylius-powered solution from Originem Cloud Commerce. The new site delivers a premium experience for both everyday shoppers and business customers throughout the Netherlands. What makes this implementation particularly impressive is how it brings together best-in-class technologies: Interlayer.cloud handles the ordering process, Akeneo Product Cloud ensures perfect product presentation, Loop54/Factfinder powers AI-driven search that actually works, Mollie handles payments seamlessly, and Eye-Able ensures the site is fully accessible according to EAA standards. This integration of cutting-edge technologies, all orchestrated through Sylius’s flexible architecture, perfectly showcases how Sylius can be effectively used as a foundation of modern eCommerce stores.
Next, we’ve broken through the incredible milestone of 7,000 members in our Slack community! If you haven’t joined us yet, we warmly invite you to become part of this thriving ecosystem.
