Creating an add-on page

If I want to create an add-on page for nopCommerce that connects to an external webservice and displays the data (it will only interact with the authentication api), and I don't want to connect to the model, is that considered a plug-in?

And is there a developers guide somewhere?

you can directly use the web service and show data

I've seen this documentation, but it's not so much a developers guide as a it is a few tips on how to do things, such as create plugins, which for the record I ended up doing, but I wanted to know if that was the correct approach, or if I should have done it another way.  Simply pointing me to something that is in the menu and not actually saying anything, assuming that I haven't read that, is pretty smug and doesn't help.

I realize that people ask questions without doing any kind of research at all, however that is not the case with me.

Thanks
