 Authentication
 --------------
 
-TODO
+Each merchant instance has separate authentication settings for the private 
API resources
+of that instance.
+
+Currently, the API supports two auth methods:
+
+* ``external``:  With this method, no checks are done by the merchant backend.
+  Instead, a reverse proxy / API gateway must do all 
authentication/authorization checks.
+* ``token``: With this method, the client must provide a ``Authorization: 
Bearer $TOKEN``
+  header, where ``$TOKEN`` is a secret authentication token configured for the 
instance.
