  - The **Processor API** which creates payments using authenticated RPC calls to a viewonly monero wallet
  - The **Payment frontend**, an embeddable html/js/css interface for making payments, which communicates with the processor API with HTTPS and WSS (websockets)
  - The **Merchant frontend**, an embeddable html/js/css interface for checking payment status, which makes authenticated RPC calls to the wallet directly
 
-The processor api is a node.js server and the two frontends are clientside javascript with a single lightweight dependency: the knockoutJS microframework.
