README

This plugin removes the "Shopware Payments" entries from the administration navigation. Shopware adds this payment offering to the admin menu by default. Its primary purpose is to tidy up the main navigation for shops that do not use Shopware Payments. (Earlier Shopware versions also threw a "You do not have the required permissions" page when the entry was clicked — that bug is fixed in current Shopware, but the unused entries remain.)

Shopware surfaces "Shopware Payments" in two separate places in the navigation via two different mechanisms, so the plugin filters both.

Note: This is not a statement against Shopware Payments — it is a solid product and a great fit for many shops. This plugin simply addresses the menu clutter for the shops that don't use it: it only hides navigation entries and leaves the app, its payment methods and all functionality fully intact, so it can be enabled again at any time.

What it does

Hides the main menu node with navigation id sw-payments (registered by the SwagExtensionStore plugin) and its child entries (Overview / Settings, the ShopwarePayments service app's manifest modules with parent === "sw-payments").
Hides the second entry that appears under "Extensions" (sw-extension). Newer ShopwarePayments versions register it through the Meteor Admin SDK (menuItem.add) from inside their iframe; such entries get a random id and default to parent: "sw-extension", so they cannot be matched by id/parent. They are matched instead via their SDK module's baseUrl, which points at the app's service domain (shopware-payments.services.shopware.io).
It does this in the administration only, by overriding the navigationEntries computed of sw-admin-menu and filtering the entries out before the menu tree is built.

What it deliberately does NOT do

It does not deactivate, uninstall or otherwise touch the ShopwarePayments app. The app must stay active — it is wired into the storefront cookie consent (custom field set shopware_payments_express and storefront gateways). Deactivating it causes an endless loading spinner in the storefront cookie settings.
It does not touch SwagExtensionStore, any core files, the global core.services.disabled switch, ACL roles or payment methods.
It only removes the navigation entries — nothing else. The change is purely cosmetic and fully reversible: deactivate this plugin and the entries reappear. The goal is a tidy main menu, not making the app inaccessible.

Result: both navigation entries are gone, everything else (the app, its payment methods and the storefront integration) keeps working unchanged.

Requirements

Shopware 6.7 (>=6.7 <6.8)
