# Extensions

ScandiPWA allows you to create "plug-and-play" extensions for your applications.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Extension** - is a reusable, isolated part of your application. It can contain a presentation layer, business logic, or even build configuration.
{% endhint %}

Extensions commonly come as two packages:

* [Magento 2 module](/developing-with-scandi/extensions.md#magento-2-module) – back-end only (GraphQl, Admin UI, etc.)
* [ScandiPWA extension](/developing-with-scandi/extensions.md#scandipwa-extension) – front-end only (presentation)

### Looking for an extension?

Visit [ScandiPWA marketplace](https://marketplace.scandipwa.com/modules.html) to find a list of ones already available for download!
