Aimeos, the popular open-source ecommerce framework for Laravel, Symfony, TYPO3, and other PHP-based platforms, has announced its latest stable release – Aimeos 2025.04. Known for its flexibility, scalability, and rich set of ecommerce features, Aimeos continues to evolve to meet modern business needs. This latest version introduces crucial improvements in performance, developer usability, and accessibility, making it a noteworthy upgrade for developers and store owners alike.
Key highlights of Aimeos 2025.04!
- jQuery codes vanish from the backend
To modernize the platform, jQuery codes are completely removed from the code base. Its frontend has already adopted the lightweight and efficient cash-dom library, which provides a frictionless API to Aimeos.
The current backend is refactored by using VueJS 3 and vanilla JavaScript, offering better maintainability, faster performance, and full compatibility with modern web development practices. Tree components and other complex UI elements have been also reimplemented without jQuery.
- A feature- complete GraphQL API
Aimeos 2025.04 has now fully feature-complete GraphQL admin API. It will provide a modern, consistent, and efficient interface to manage backend data. This update will enhance usability and flexibility for developers because it has support for searching categories and site trees.
Also, the legacy JSON admin API has been eliminated to streamline the platform.
- Single domain for types
All type tables across data domains have been unified into a single table under the new “type” domain. This has significantly reduced the amount of code and enabled centralized management of type entries. The Aimeos 2025.04 is simple, easy to maintain, and consistent due to this structural simplification.
Thus, the older domain property of type items is now replaced with the actual data domain to which the type belongs.
- Moved baskets to own data domain
To improve performance and scalability, stored baskets have been moved from the order domain to the dedicated “basket” domain. The detachment of baskets from orders will now allow users to store baskets in a separate database instance, which will reduce resource contention and enable efficient scaling even in high-traffic environments. This change will ensure that active user sessions will be handled smoothly without hampering order processing.
- New admin interface enhancements
The Aimeos admin interface has received several updates to make store management more intuitive:
- Improved product filtering and sorting options.
- Enhanced visual layout for complex catalog structures.
- Responsive design updates for better mobile and tablet accessibility.
- Laravel 11 compatibility
Aimeos 2025.04 ensures full compatibility with Laravel 11, allowing developers to seamlessly integrate the ecommerce system with the latest version of the framework. This also means better support for modern PHP features, route improvements, and Laravel’s latest security updates.
- Extended headless API support
Headless commerce is becoming increasingly popular, and Aimeos continues to invest in its API-first architecture. The 2025.04 release expands the JSON:API endpoints, making it easier for developers to build custom frontends using React, Vue, or mobile apps.
- Multi-vendor marketplace enhancements
Building on its strengths in supporting marketplaces, the new version adds improvements for:
- Vendor-specific product catalogs.
- Advanced commission and revenue tracking.
- Separate order workflows for each vendor.
- Accessibility across multiple languages
Aimeos 2025.04 takes a step forward in web accessibility, aligning with WCAG 2.1 guidelines. It also introduces better multi-language and localization support, empowering merchants to run at global storefronts.
Widely spoken languages such as Chinese, Spanish, Russian, French, German, and Arabic along with some regional ones like Portuguese (European and Brazilian), Italian, Dutch, Polish, Japanese, Greek, etc. are included in this latest Aimeos version. This stable release is now supporting an array of languages, which makes Aimeos an internationally inclusive ecommerce solution.
- Improved documentation and developer experience
Alongside the release, the Aimeos team has updated its documentation to reflect new features, provide clear migration paths, and offer best practices for development and deployment. Improved inline code comments and auto-generated API documentation further enhance the developer experience.
