Back to topPPL Dev Create Store solves a recurring headache for anyone who repeatedly stands up a fresh Magento store for development, QA, or a demo: hand-building the same scaffolding every time. A new environment needs a website, a store group, a store view, a root category with child categories, tax classes with rates and rules, and a base configuration for country, locale, timezone, currency, shipping and offline payments.
In a standard Magento setup, there is no dedicated admin workflow for this, so teams usually click through the admin or paste SQL from old notes, and every fresh environment drifts a little from the last one. This module turns that recurring setup into one repeatable run, so a new development store comes up the same way every time, for developers, QA teams, and agencies who need a checkout-ready baseline quickly in the admin.
Features
- Guided admin form with 11 ready country presets, plus the ppl:dev:create-store console command, so you can run the same setup interactively or in CI.
- Creates the website, store group and store view in one pass, giving a clean multi-level store structure without manual admin clicks.
- Builds 5 default categories (Women, Men, Accessories, Sale, Demo Articles), so the catalog has a usable tree to browse and assign products to immediately.
- Sets up tax classes, rates and rules, so you can test tax behavior straight away instead of configuring it by hand.
- Applies base website configuration (country, locale, timezone, currency, flat-rate shipping, check/money order and bank transfer payments), making the store checkout-ready on the first run.
- Idempotent runs with an explicit production-mode confirmation guard, so reruns reuse existing entities and the tool refuses to touch production unless you confirm.
Why development teams use it
In a clean Magento install you cannot reach checkout, browse a catalog, or test tax behavior until the store structure and tax setup exist, and building them by hand is slow, easy to get wrong, and never identical twice. PPL Dev Create Store closes that gap by creating the website, store group, store view, categories, tax classes, rates and rules, and the base website configuration in a single pass. Reruns are idempotent, so existing entities are detected and reused instead of duplicated, which avoids cleanup and rework. The payoff is a checkout-ready baseline that is identical across every developer machine and CI job, with no spreadsheet of values and no one-off setup script to maintain.
Common use cases
- Standing up a fresh development or QA store that reaches checkout without manual setup.
- Rebuilding a disposable demo or staging environment that matches every developer machine and CI job.
- Laying down foundation data ahead of later product, customer, and order generation.
- Resetting a drifted local environment to a known, repeatable baseline.
What you get
- The installable module package with the admin Create Store UI, configuration, ACL/menu integration, and documentation.
- The ppl:dev:create-store console command for scripted and CI runs.
- ACL/menu integration through PPL Dev Tool.
- Translation files for 12 locales.
- Documentation for installation, first setup, and expected empty states.
Compatibility
Designed for Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce 2.4 environments, with PHP and package requirements declared in composer.json, including the PPL foundation module PPL Dev Tool. It works with PPL Dev Create Taxes and PPL Dev Quick Setup for fuller scenario setup when those modules are installed.
Ideal for
Developers, QA teams, agencies, and extension vendors that repeatedly stand up disposable Magento stores and need a checkout-ready, identical baseline for development, QA, demos, and staging.
The module ships translation CSV files for 12 locales: de_DE, en_US, es_ES, fr_FR, it_IT, ja_JP, nl_NL, pl_PL, pt_BR, ru_RU, tr_TR, zh_CN, giving international Magento teams a ready localization baseline while still allowing normal Magento theme and project translation overrides.
