# Introduction

Understand the MusePay platform and find the right documentation for your integration.

MusePay provides API infrastructure for embedding crypto payments, card issuing, asset management, conversion, and fiat payouts into your product. A consistent API model lets your system use these capabilities while MusePay handles the underlying payment and financial operations.

## How MusePay works

MusePay integrations combine three components:

* **APIs** initiate operations and retrieve information from your backend.
* **Partner Portal** supports operational tasks such as managing API access, account funding, and configuration.
* **Webhooks** notify your system about asynchronous order and card events.

## How this documentation is organized

* **Getting Started** covers the common setup checklist and helps you choose the appropriate product integration.
* **Integration** explains end-to-end workflows, implementation decisions, and operational behavior.
* **API Reference** defines endpoints, request parameters, response fields, and supporting enums.

## Next step

Start with the setup checklist, then continue to the integration guide that matches your use case.
