## What it is
Sylius is an open-source headless eCommerce platform and framework built on top of PHP/Symfony and API Platform. It provides a powerful REST API, strong testing culture with Behat/PHPUnit, and exceptional flexibility for building tailored online shops.

## Use cases
- build a headless online store with a REST API backend
- create a custom eCommerce platform on Symfony
- set up a shopping cart and checkout system
- integrate eCommerce with any frontend via API
- develop a multi-channel shop for web and mobile
- extend an eCommerce platform with plugins and bundles

## When to choose
- you want a fully customizable, open-source eCommerce framework on PHP/Symfony
- you need a headless commerce backend with a REST API for any frontend
- you value code quality, BDD testing culture, and flexibility
- you plan to tailor the shop to specific business requirements

## When to avoid
- you need a turnkey hosted store with minimal setup like Shopify
- your stack is not PHP/Symfony based
- you need advanced B2B features like multi-store or loyalty out of the box without a paid Sylius Plus license
