Individual customizations have to be implemented in Shopware 6 with an own theme or an extension (plugin or app).
For the integration of individual customizations you may use an extension from the Shopware Community Store or our free "ThemeWare® Customizing Plugin" (an extension based on the plug-in system of Showpare 6).
Note: Please use the "ThemeWare® Customizing App" in the Shopware 6 Cloud.
You can find the download link for the free "Customising plugin" via the ThemeWare® Utilities:
Important: Please note that we offer the "ThemeWare® Customizing Plugin" free of charge and cannot provide support for the plugin or individual customisations.
The extension has to be uploaded using the administration of Shopware via "Extensions" => "My extensions" and the button "Upload extension".
Then install and activate the extension.
After activation, recompile your ThemeWare® theme once (just save the theme configuration unchanged, for example) and clear the Shopware cache.
Please find more information regarding the manual installation of extensions in the article:

As the plugin is free of charge and not available via the Shopware Store, there is currently no automatic update option.
Deactivate the plugin before you perform a Shopware update. You can find information on how to update your plugin manually below:
As all changes are overwritten on file level when updating extensions, it is important to backup the folder custom/plugins/TcinnCustomizing/src before updating and upload it again after the update.
Note: You can find the latest version in the ThemeWare® Utilities.
