Get started

Six stages take you from knowing nothing about Wasp to a finished, proven integration. The first two are the same for everyone. At the second you choose how you will integrate, and from then on this journey shows only the steps on your path.

The journey is a guide, not a gate. Every page it points to is also in the documentation library and in search, whichever path you choose, and some steps open only once you have the access they need — each one says so, and says how to get it.

1. 1 Understand Wasp

   What Wasp does, what it owns and what your application owns, and the choices you have.

   2. Where Wasp Checkout fits

2. 2 Choose how you will integrate

   Compare the integration models, see what each asks of you, and choose one. The journey follows your choice from here.
