I am developing a plugin named “Abandoned Cart Notification”. I am going to create a new table “cart\_items”. I read this “The suffix for your own database tables is s\_plugin. If you use your own tables, the structure must be as follows: s\_plugin\_MyPluginName” from [https://docs.shopware.com/en/plugin-standard-for-community-store](https://docs.shopware.com/en/plugin-standard-for-community-store). I am a little bit confused.  What should be my table name 1. s\_plugin\_AbandonedCartNotification\_CartItems 2. s\_plugin\_abandonedcartnotification\_cartitems 3) CartItems\_s\_plugin\_AbandonedCartNotification 4) cartitems\_s\_plugin\_abandonedcartnotification Which one is correct?   ---

Hi,   I think “suffix” should be “prefix” in this context. Its simply a wrong word in the documentation 🙂 I would name the table “s\_plugin\_abandoned\_cart\_notification\_cart\_items” ---

Hello, what @DenKon26‍ said is correct. I will fix the documentation. It is indeed wrong  ![Smile](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/shopware/original/1X/bac5f5766b6a20565a8fb995345b4e41d24daac0.png "Smile") As addition: this is not mandatory to get your plugin work, you could name the tables like you want.

@[Michael Telgmann](https://forum.shopware.com/profile/17553/Michael%20Telgmann)  If you add some examples or links to the developer guides in the documentation it will be really helpful for developers. ---
