Sylius Community Edition

Sylius Plus

Current Q1-Q3 2025

Parts of the most recent or upcoming sprints. These will be a part of Sylius or Sylius Plus for sure.

Sylius 2.0 support for Sylius Plus

PLUS

Enable seamless upgrades for Sylius Plus customers while allowing everyone to leverage the latest Sylius 2.0 features.

Advanced Import/Export Layer

PLUS

A bundled Import/Export layer with a friendly GUI and highly performant infrastructure that is about to support Advanced Message Queueing Protocols (AMQP) and techs such as Apache Kafka or RabbitMQ through Symfony Messenger

Quoting (RFQ)

PLUS

Within the B2B module, we will allow customers to inquire about custom offers directly through the system, streamlining communication and making the buying process more flexible for customers who demand a slightly different offering path.

Sylius CMS Plugin

A trustworthy and simple, native solution for managing and publishing content directly within Sylius projects.

Proof-of-Concept (POC) Booster

Our aim is to streamline the proof-of-concept phase with tools for rapid store setup, customizable configurations, and ready-to-use data for faster project development and easier pitching.

What we’re considering working on next, but it still can be replaced by other ideas.

Advanced Customer Service: Editing orders

PLUS

One can already change the addresses of the order or split its shipments; but ultimately we’d like to enable editing the already placed orders. Add, remove items, change quantities, apply discounts, change shipping methods or even manually modify the items’ prices.

Artificial Intelligence Support

PLUS

An Open AI SDK for Sylius with a set of compatible services one could inject, extend, or define easily to create their own AI enhancements.

Returns: Shipping

PLUS

Returns will have an integration with order shipments to track the return of repaired/replaced items.

Multi-Source Inventory: Priorities, strategies, backorders

PLUS

Inventory priorities and strategies: from which inventory source should the items get sold first? Unravel the last mile delivery management within Sylius. Backorders: sell even when you don’t have your products in stock anymore, but they can be ordered from the manufacturer. This will let the items’ stock to go below 0.

Recurring Orders / Product Subscriptions

PLUS

This addition will enable Sylius Plus users to offer subscription-based services, catering to businesses that rely on repeat orders or want to introduce subscription models to their offerings.

React.js Front-end Starter App

We will introduce a standardized pre-built template for headless usage based on React.js. This kit will provide a head start for developers, reducing the time and effort needed to set up and scale Sylius-based applications.

Catalog Promotions: Visual improvements

Catalog Promotion labels will receive a visual configurator (color, size, font etc.).

Sylius User Guide

A visualised document dedicated for administration that will unravel the usage of Sylius.

Future (ideas)

We follow the market demands but also put a lot of emphasis on creating e-commerce trends ourselves. Watch our CEO’s online presentation on YouTube!

Visual Merchandising

PLUS

Organise the products in their grids (homepage, taxons’ pages) via a convenient drag&drop interface.

Private Sales

PLUS

Creating a sale (catalog promotion-based) dedicated only to chosen customer groups, via a special link (landing page).

Pre-Sale Campaigns

PLUS

Offer a time-limited sales before your items get even manufactured in order precisely plan how many have to be produced and give up overstocking.

Product Drafts/Versioning

Preparing products offerings before they get published is a very convenient solution for product managers.

What we’ve done so far

A list of features recently finished

Payment Requests: alternative to Payum

Sylius introduces “Payment Requests” to simplify payment integration for the UI and API, initially supporting Payum but aiming to make it optional. This feature leverages the existing PaymentMethod to determine the type and uses tagged services to handle payment actions via custom Symfony/Messenger messages. It streamlines payment processing, offering flexibility and improved developer experience.

API Platform 4

API Platform 4 boosts API performance and security through its optimized architecture and advanced security features. It brings new capabilities like enhanced OpenAPI support, improved GraphQL integration, and a better developer experience.

Symfony 7 support

Upgrading Sylius to Symfony 7 improves performance and security with Symfony 7’s optimized architecture and enhanced security features. It provides access to new tools like improved debugging, better DX (Developer Experience) enhancements, and support for modern PHP features. This upgrade ensures long-term support, compatibility with future PHP versions, and future-proofs Sylius projects.

✨ New Bootstrap Admin Panel

The new, Bootstrap-based responsive panel with enhanced user experience (UX) and modern, mobile-friendly interface! It’s going to be like a new era for daily Sylius users, trust me.

🎨 New Bootstrap Shop

While adding new looks to the administration panel we couldn’t have forgotten about the shop. Even though Sylius is now fully headless we still care about it’s head, do not worry.

Sylius Cloud in form of a PaaS

The sweet spot between everything you love from on-premise and hermetic cloud-only solutions. Own your data and impact the code without the complexity of hosting, scaling, backing up, and worrying about the infrastructure.

Sylius Plus: Modularity

PLUS

Since Sylius Plus is an addition to our CE, we want it to be no less flexible. This is why we decided to introduce a modular offering better tailored to individual needs. This means that we will use the plugin infrastructure to decouple our Plus offering into modular packages that you can add on top of your Standard edition without requiring all other dependencies. This will be reflected in our pricing, which will be calculated using not only the GMV tier but also what modules are required, the project sales strategy, whether it’s an upgrade on top of an existing CE, implementation strategy, SLA, and other factors.

Sylius Release Cycle

Check the explanation of the Sylius release cycle (i.e. the code & documentation hosted on the main Sylius/Sylius repository).

Backward Compatibility Promise

Sylius follows a versioning strategy called Semantic Versioning. It means that only major releases include BC breaks.
