# Introduction

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.
