-<a href="#introduction">
-  <h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
-</a>
-Juspay, founded in 2012, is a global leader in payment orchestration and checkout solutions, trusted by 400+ leading enterprises and brands worldwide. Hyperswitch is Juspay's new generation of composable, commercial open-source payments platform for merchant and brands. It is an enterprise-grade, transparent and modular payments platform designed to provide digital businesses access to the best payments infrastructure.
+</details>
 
-Here are the key components of Hyperswitch that deliver the whole solution:
+<summary><h2> What Can I Do with Hyperswitch?</h2></summary>
 
-* [Hyperswitch Backend](https://github.com/juspay/hyperswitch): Hyperswitch backend enables seamless payment processing with comprehensive support for various payment flows - authorization, authentication, void and capture workflows along with robust management of post-payment processes like refunds and chargeback handling. Additionally, Hyperswitch supports non-payment use cases by enabling connections with external FRM or authentication providers as part of the payment flow. The backend optimizes payment routing with customizable workflows, including success rate-based routing, rule-based routing, volume distribution, fallback handling, and intelligent retry mechanisms for failed payments based on specific error codes.
+Hyperswitch offers a modular, open-source payments infrastructure designed for flexibility and control. Apart from our Payment Suite offering, this solution allows businesses to pick and integrate only the modules they need on top of their existing payment stack — without unnecessary complexity or vendor lock-in.
 
-* [SDK (Frontend)](https://github.com/juspay/hyperswitch-web): The SDK, available for web, [Android, and iOS](https://github.com/juspay/hyperswitch-client-core), unifies the payment experience across various methods such as cards, wallets, BNPL, bank transfers, and more, while supporting the diverse payment flows of underlying PSPs. When paired with the locker, it surfaces the user's saved payment methods.    
+Each module is independent and purpose-built to optimize different aspects of payment processing.
 
-* [Control Center](https://github.com/juspay/hyperswitch-control-center): The Control Center enables users to manage the entire payments stack without any coding. It allows the creation of workflows for routing, payment retries, and defining conditions to invoke 3DS, fraud risk management (FRM), and surcharge modules. The Control Center provides access to transaction, refund, and chargeback operations across all integrated PSPs, transaction-level logs for initial debugging, and detailed analytics and insights into payment performance.

+
+## Quickstart 
+
+<h3> Local Setup via Docker </h3>
+
+```bash
+# One-click local setup
 
-```shell
 git clone --depth 1 --branch latest https://github.com/juspay/hyperswitch
+
 cd hyperswitch
+
 scripts/setup.sh
 ```
+<details>
+  <summary><strong>This script: </strong></summary>
+
+  - Detects Docker/Podman  
+  - Offers multiple deployment profiles:
+    - **Standard**: App server + Control Center  
+    - **Full**: Includes monitoring + schedulers  
+    - **Minimal**: Standalone App server  
+  - Provides access links when done
+
+  If you need further help, check out our [video tutorial](https://docs.hyperswitch.io/hyperswitch-open-source/overview/unified-local-setup-using-docker).  
 
-The above script will:
-- Check for prerequisites (Docker Compose/Podman)
-- Set up necessary configurations
-- Let you select a deployment profile:
-  - **Standard**: Recommended - App server + Control Center + Web SDK.
-  - **Full**: Standard + Monitoring + Scheduler.
-  - **Standalone App Server**: Core services only (Hyperswitch server, PostgreSQL, Redis)
-- Start the selected services
-- Check service health
-- Provide access information
+  👉 After setup, [configure a connector](https://docs.hyperswitch.io/hyperswitch-open-source/account-setup/using-hyperswitch-control-center#add-a-payment-processor) and [test a payment](https://docs.hyperswitch.io/hyperswitch-open-source/account-setup/test-a-payment).
+</details>
 
-The next step is to [configure a connector][configure-a-connector] with the Hyperswitch Control Center and [try a payment][try-a-payment].
 
-Check out the [local setup guide][local-setup-guide] for more details on setting up the entire stack or component wise.
+<h3>Hosted Sandbox (No Setup Required)</h3>
 
+Hyperswitch offers a fully hosted sandbox environment that requires no setup. You can explore the Control Center, configure payment connectors, and test payments directly from the UI.
