Sylius — enterprise flexibility for B2B and headless stores.
Sylius is our flagship platform for B2B and stores requiring custom business logic. Open-source on Symfony PHP, with full control over the code, ideal for 10k–100k SKU catalogs with individual pricing, trade credit, marketplace sync. KMK Klinkier as our flagship deployment.
When Sylius is the right call.
Sylius isn't for every store — it's a platform for mid-market++ with specific business requirements and budget for technological flexibility. Below are the three most common scenarios where Sylius beats competing platforms.
When Sylius wins
Mid-market B2B store with individual pricing, trade credit, ERP integrations. Sylius has all this natively; in Shopify you have to build it via apps.
Headless architecture with a separate frontend (Next.js, Nuxt) — Sylius provides a full REST/GraphQL API and complete freedom in UX design.
A catalog of 10k-100k SKUs with complex attribute logic, variants, and product customization. Sylius handles this better than most SaaS platforms.
Marketplace or multi-store setups — one database, multiple storefronts for different brands or regions.
When NOT Sylius
D2C store with up to 5k SKUs without custom logic — Shopify Plus will be 3x faster to deploy and cheaper to maintain.
No in-house PHP/Symfony expertise — Sylius requires developers with skills that are in short supply in Poland. Without a retainer, it's hard to maintain.
A time-to-launch under 12 weeks — Sylius is highly customizable, but customization takes time. For a quick launch, Shopify Plus is the better choice.
A budget under PLN 100k — an enterprise Sylius implementation starts at PLN 150k. For smaller projects, we build on PrestaShop or WooCommerce.
Five competencies, proven on real enterprise projects.
Sylius specialization isn't a declaration — it's documented years of work on specific enterprise B2B projects. Each of the competencies below has at least two production projects delivered.
Sylius Enterprise B2B
Full Sylius Enterprise with individual pricing, trade credit, marketplace sync, and ERP integrations. KMK Klinkier is our flagship implementation — 3+ years of continuous development under a Growth Retainer.
Sylius Headless with Next.js
Headless architecture with Next.js as the frontend. Full control over UX, Core Web Vitals performance scores of 90+, and SEO with no compromises. The ideal combination for mid-market businesses with D2C ambitions.
Sylius Multi-Store
One database, multiple storefronts for different brands or regions. Centralized catalog management, local pricing, local payment integrations. A complex but powerful model for brand groups.
Migrations to Sylius
Migrations from PrestaShop and Magento to headless Sylius. An SEO-first approach with one-to-one URL mapping. Average organic traffic drop under 3%, against an industry benchmark of 15-30%.
Long-term Sylius retainer
