taler-merchant
--------------
-TBD.
+This package is a backend to be used by merchants that
+want to accept GNU Taler payments.
+
+This package is integrated with Apache or Nginx, automatically
+deploying a configuration for the backend to the respective
+Web server at the "/taler-merchant/" endpoint.
+
+To access the priviledged parts of the Taler backend, you need to provide the
+API KEY in an HTTP "Authorization" header. This Debian package creates a
+random API KEY and stores it in plaintext in
+"/var/lib/taler-merchant/master-api-key.txt." You can change the key by
+editing the respective Web server's configuration. The "master-api-key.txt"
+file is not actually required and provided for convenience.
