What Shopware's plugin system actually gives you
Shopware 6 plugins hook into the platform through event subscribers, service decoration, and dependency injection rather than editing core files directly. That architecture is what lets custom logic survive a Shopware core update instead of getting overwritten on the next release.
A plugin can touch the storefront, the admin, or both — a pricing rule that only needs backend logic, or a full admin module with its own configuration screen and API endpoints. We scope which parts you actually need rather than building both by default.
