Bitcart Core, the daemons for each currency that wrap the Electrum wallet, is the only required component. The optional Merchants API adds PostgreSQL, Redis and a background worker that follows each enabled currency's daemon, and the optional admin panel is a user interface built around that API. The [architecture page](https://docs.bitcart.ai/development/architecture) describes how the parts fit together.\n\nA website can take payments in two ways: it sends a POST request to the Merchants API to create an invoice, or it loads the admin panel's checkout modal script and opens an invoice by its ID. The [custom integration page](https://docs.bitcart.ai/integrations/custom-integration) describes both, along with a Python SDK that simplifies using the core daemons.\n\n## Worth knowing\n\nThe [manual deployment page](https://docs.bitcart.ai/deployment/manual) says manual installation is not recommended in production, and the [Docker deployment page](https://docs.bitcart.ai/deployment/docker) describes the deployment method the project uses. The background worker keeps running, so an installation is a set of long-running services rather than static files."}
