# Backend App Development

When there are some backend services that need to directly interact with XION, we can still provide the corresponding capabilities.

## The different types of XION integration on backend

When you need to integrate Web3 into your product, you may encounter the following challenges:

* You already have an existing user base and do not want them to change their usage habits.
* You have a mature Web2 frontend user experience and do not want to rewrite most of your frontend code.
* You have existing infrastructure and integrations that you wish to continue using.

Xion provides a variety of ways to integrate, allowing you to choose the approach that best fits your product for Web3 integration.
