# Introduction

Welcome to the FlexShopper API. We're excited to partner with you!

There are two ways to integrate with FlexShopper:

## Medusa

[Medusa](https://dev.flexshopper.com/medusa/integration-guides/medusa), our REST API, is suitable for you either if you don't have a **web** application, or if you're simply seeking more control over your visual interface. Medusa enables you to integrate with FlexShopper while preserving your own application's look and feel.

{% hint style="success" %}
We strongly recommend using the Medusa integration.

{% endcontent-ref %}

## Payment Plugin

[Payment Plugin](https://dev.flexshopper.com/medusa/integration-guides/payment-plugin), the suite of web components and iframe, is suitable for you if you already have a customer-facing **web** application UI. This integration is typically the easiest of the two, but requires you to already have a web application to embed Payment Plugin into as an iframe.
