PPL Dev Tool add-on for creating repeatable Magento 2 development store setup data and configuration.
PPL Dev Create Store for Magento 2
PPL Dev Create Store creates or completes a repeatable Magento development store baseline for checkout, catalog, tax, demo, and smoke-test work.
What It Adds
- Store setup workflow for local and QA environments
- Baseline configuration for catalog, customer, directory, offline payment, store, and tax testing
- Foundation data for later product, customer, and order generation
Requirements And Dependencies
- PHP: >=8.1
- Magento packages: magento/framework, magento/module-backend, magento/module-catalog, magento/module-config, magento/module-directory, magento/module-eav, magento/module-offline-payments, magento/module-store, magento/module-tax
- PPL packages: ppl/module-dev-tool
Installation
Composer installation:
composer require ppl/module-dev-create-store
bin/magento module:enable Ppl_Hub Ppl_DevTool Ppl_DevCreateStore
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
bin/magento cache:clean
Manual app/code installation: copy the module to app/code/Ppl/DevCreateStore, install the dependencies listed above, then run the same Magento commands without the Composer step.
First Use
- Install Ppl_DevTool and Ppl_Hub first.
- Review the generated configuration options before running in any shared environment.
- Use Ppl_DevCreateTaxes for richer country VAT presets and dedicated tax workflows.
Admin entry: PPL Hub > PPL Dev Tool > Create Store.
Integrations And Boundaries
- Works with Ppl_DevCreateTaxes and Ppl_DevQuickSetup for fuller scenario setup.
- Intended for development, QA, demo, or disposable staging environments. Do not treat generated data as production merchant data.
Localization
The package includes 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.

Compatibility
Each Magento release line is installed on its supported PHP versions, then the module is built (DI compilation + static-content deploy) and its unit and integration suites are run. The matrix shows the lines and PHP versions the module is confirmed to install and run on. Code-quality results further down (phpstan, phpcs, …) are reported separately and never affect compatibility.
Code Quality
Advisory checks against the module's source. Static analysis runs once across the whole module; PHPStan re-runs per Magento + PHP version because resolvable symbols differ between releases. These NEVER affect the Compatibility badge. A phpcs finding can't make a module incompatible.
Static analysis
Coding standards (phpcs), mess detection (phpmd), copy-pasted code (cpd), PHP cross-version compatibility, composer.json validity. Each runs once for the whole module.
| Tool | Status | Findings | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHPCS | Pass | 0 | |
| PHPMD | Warning | 5 | 5 rule violations (ExcessiveClassLength:1, TooManyMethods:1, ExcessiveClassComplexity:1, ExcessiveParameterList:1, ExcessiveMethodLength:1) |
| Cpd | Pass | 0 | |
| Composer validate | Info | 1 | valid; 1 advisory note (composer validate --strict) |
PHPStan
Type-checks the module's PHP against a real Magento install at the configured gate level. Re-runs per Magento and PHP version because resolvable symbols differ between releases.
Tests
Unit and integration suites, run for each applicable Magento and PHP version. A test failure speaks to the module's behaviour, not its compatibility with a Magento line, so it is reported here separately and never reddens the compatibility matrix.
Unit tests
Integration tests
| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | ||
| 2.4.8 | N/A | N/A | ||
| 2.4.9 | N/A | N/A |
Security
Security checks run directly against the module: an audit of its declared dependencies for known vulnerabilities (composer audit) and a scan of its source for malware and web-shell signatures. Each runs once. A malware detection fails the version outright.
