Overview
EC-CUBE is a PHP e-commerce platform for building online stores in Japan. It supports local practices such as tax, reward points, and multiple shipping destinations, with extensions through a plugin marketplace and source customization.
Features and best fit
Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:
Extend Japanese storefront features on a Symfony stack
Its stack includes Symfony 7.4, Doctrine ORM 3 and DBAL 4, and Twig 3 for products, orders, members, payment integrations, and more. It supports PostgreSQL 13–18 or MySQL 8.4 and can be extended for store-specific requirements through plugins.

For tailoring a store to Japanese business practices in source
It fits stores with operations or designs that packaged SaaS cannot readily absorb and a PHP team able to maintain the deployment. The README offers a recommended Docker Compose quickstart as well as Composer installation.

Check the 4.4 release state and dual licensing
The default 4.4 branch is under development, and the README says it is not yet a formal release. Confirm requirements such as PHP 8.2–8.5. Distribution is available under GPL v2 or a paid commercial license; deployments without source disclosure need the commercial terms reviewed.

Supplemental curator note
Selected because branded Japanese search and its plugin marketplace provide discovery well beyond what the repository star count suggests.
