- **Symfony components** for HTTP, caching, console, validation, mailer, and more
- **Monolog** for structured logging, **DomPdf** for PDF generation
- **100% vanilla JavaScript** - no jQuery, no Prototype.js, no legacy frameworks
- **No legacy baggage** - Zend Framework and IE compatibility code have been completely removed

### Enterprise features built in

[](#enterprise-features-built-in)

- **Automated email marketing** with multi-step campaigns and behavior-based triggers
- **Customer segmentation** with rule-based targeting
- **Dynamic categories** that update automatically based on product rules

- **Composer plugin** for module management, **PHPStan plugin** for static analysis
- **Language packs** via Crowdin with 98% coverage
- Clean MVC architecture, event-driven system, and modular design

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

```
composer create-project mahocommerce/maho-starter yourproject

```

Then open  and follow the web installer (select SQLite to skip database setup).

GenAI transparency
------------------

[](#genai-transparency)

Maho is built by a small team competing in a heavyweight championship, something that traditionally would have needed entire engineering departments behind it. Generative AI is a big part of what makes this realistic, and what allows us to deliver ambitious features along with refactoring, modernization, testing, and documentation, on a small budget and with volunteer effort. We don't hide this and we don't apologize for it. It is an added value of the project, the superpower of our developers and maintainers. Even with AI in the loop, a huge amount of human work still goes into Maho every day: defining specs, designing features, reviewing code, steering the roadmap, addressing issues, managing the community, and keeping the lights on. AI amplifies that effort, it doesn't replace it.

AI tools are used alongside human work for writing and refactoring code, expanding the test suite, drafting documentation and translations, and helping triage pull requests, often highlighting spots the human eye would have missed. Our primary tool is [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) with Anthropic's Claude family of models, plus [DeepWiki](https://deepwiki.com/MahoCommerce/maho) for code exploration; we use them under terms that allow producing output under Maho's OSL-3.0 license.

We built a big set of automated guardrails (PHPStan, PHP CS Fixer, Rector, and more) and an expanding set of tests to keep AI in check (and to help it produce better results), before our maintainers review and validate every part of every PR with no exception, to always deliver the highest quality in the industry. We never merge purely AI-generated changes.

If you're a contributor, AI use in your PRs is welcome. We don't require an explicit disclosure, but you are expected to understand and stand behind the code you submit, just as you would with any other contribution.

About the name
--------------

[](#about-the-name)

"Maho" ([pronounced "mah-hoh"](https://www.ingles.com/pronunciacion/majo)) is the name of the ancient indigenous people of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands - a resilient population who thrived in challenging environments. In Spanish it means *nice, cool*; in Japanese it means *magic*. The name reflects our strength and resilience in the demanding landscape of modern ecommerce.
