+### Backends
+
+The module needs to track registrations, and be able to associate tokens with
+users. There are multiple ways to do this, but not every method is supported
+on every Prosody version.
+
+By default the module will automatically select the best backend that is
+supported on the current Prosody version you are using.
+
+#### storage backend
+
+This is the default backend on Prosody 0.12 and earlier. It stores tokens and
+their associated data in Prosody's configured data store.
+
+Supported by all Prosody versions.
+
+#### paseto backend
+
+This is a stateless (i.e. no storage required) backend that uses encrypted
+[PASETO tokens](https://paseto.io/) to store registration info. It is the
+default backend on Prosody trunk, as PASETO support is not available in
+Prosody 0.12 and earlier.
+
+#### jwt backend
+
+This is a stateless backend that uses [JWT tokens](https://jwt.io/) to store
+registration info. It is supported in Prosody 0.12 and higher.
+
+**Note:** The JWT tokens are **not encrypted**, which means the JID
+associated with a registration is visible to apps and services that send you
+push notifications. This can have privacy implications. If in doubt, do not
+use this backend.
+
+This backend requires you to set a secure random string in the config file,
+using the `unified_push_secret` option.
 
 A random push secret can be generated with the command
 `openssl rand -base64 32`. Changing the secret will invalidate all existing
 push registrations.
 
+### HTTP configuration
+
 This module exposes a HTTP endpoint (to receive push notifications from app
 servers). For more information on configuring HTTP services in Prosody, see
 [Prosody HTTP documentation](https://prosody.im/doc/http).
