and Marketplace use cases. It includes all standard features along with additional, complex functionality that most of its competitors do not offer, like measurement/packing units, gift cards, punch out, approvals, quotation, etc.
Spryker can be combined with other solutions, but is also capable to run in a stand-alone mode, because it’s fully equipped with most required features.

Modularity & Flexibility

⁠

⁠
⁠
Spryker is a highly modular system that allows projects to select only the modules they need. The system's architecture can vary depending on the project's requirements (see examples below).
Developers have the option to assemble the modules themselves or start with one of the pre-built templates (as shown in the demo shops above).
Technically, this assembly is done by selecting modules through Composer (PHP’s package manager, similar to NPM for JavaScript) and provisioning applications using Docker Compose.

⁠

B2C & B2B setup

Spryker’s default architecture consists of a storefront and a backend (Gateway).
For performance and scalability reasons, the storefront does not directly access the SQL database. Instead, it retrieves all data from a key-value storage system and a search engine.

SPA setup

Projects that prefer a single-page application (SPA) over Spryker's default PHP-rendered storefront can opt to use Spryker’s framework called Oryx, which leverages web components and the Lit framework.
In this setup, the storefront communicates with a public service called Glue, which exposes a REST API.

⁠

Marketplace

When using Spryker to implement a marketplace, you'll also utilize the Merchant Portal application. This is a user interface designed for merchants to manage their products and orders.

⁠

Back Office

Spryker includes an admin UI that can be extended at the code level to meet any requirements.

Hosting options

Shops or marketplaces built on Spryker are typically hosted on Spryker’s PaaS+

⁠
solution, which provides managed hosting on AWS.
Each environment is a dedicated instance.
