> Sylius hosting on a managed PHP platform: the Symfony e-commerce framework with git-push deploys, MySQL, persistent product images and a Messenger worker.


## About Sylius

Sylius is an open source e-commerce framework built on [Symfony](/software/symfony), for stores whose checkout or pricing needs custom code. The core is MIT licensed; Sylius Plus is the paid edition. The API runs on API Platform, so a separate storefront can sit in front of it.

## Sylius on fortrabbit

A Sylius store is a Symfony app, so it deploys with git push. The Sylius software template adds the npm build for the shop and admin assets. Product images land in `public/media`, which every deploy leaves in place.

Sylius queues catalog promotion work in MySQL through Symfony Messenger. A worker job keeps the consumer running and restarts it after each deploy, so it runs the new code.

## FAQ

### How do I deploy a Sylius store to fortrabbit?

**Git push** — Choose the Sylius software template and connect the GitHub repo. Every push runs Composer and the Webpack Encore build, then the Doctrine migrations, assets:install and cache:clear after the deploy.

### Do catalog promotions work?

**Yes** — Sylius applies them through Symfony Messenger on the database transport. Add a worker job for messenger:consume main catalog_promotion_removal on the Jobs component.

### Can I try Sylius hosting before paying?

**Yes** — Start a free trial — seven days, no credit card — and deploy a real Sylius store.
