# Management vs Storefront APIs

The PayNow API can be divided into two groups of routes: **Management** and **Storefront**. The Management API is used for store management and can be accessed by Users and API keys. This API allows you to perform actions like [updating products](https://docs.paynow.gg/management/management-api/products), [creating coupons](https://docs.paynow.gg/management/management-api/coupons), and [managing customer items](https://docs.paynow.gg/management/management-api/delivery).

On the other hand, Storefront API is intended for customer use, and provides a different representation of the same resources available in the Management API. For example, the Storefront API lets you [display products](https://docs.paynow.gg/storefront-headless/storefront-api/products) to customers and keep track of [items in their cart](https://docs.paynow.gg/storefront-headless/storefront-api/cart). You can use the Storefront API from any location on the internet, such as your custom domain or a plugin on your game server or other application.
