    Open Source eCommerce Framework on Symfony

    All this being said, I would caution away from building an e-commerce from scratch. There are a few open-source headless e-commerce platforms that can serve as the perfect base for any e-commerce platform and would save countless hours of head banging solving a solved problem.
