# Overview

The Credential Store Service offers various storage functionalities for different types of credentials, including W3C,
SD-JWT VC, and mDL. It allows users to store, list, view, and delete these credentials. Also, it offers various query
futures to find and match credentials for a specific presentation definition. The service can be accessed
directly through the Enterprise API or indirectly as a part of other services within the Enterprise Stack.

**Services utilizing the Credential Store as a dependency:**

- [**Wallet Service**](https://docs.walt.id/enterprise-stack/services/wallet-service/overview.md): The Wallet Service can utilize the Credential
  Store to both retrieve credentials from (e.g. during a presentation flow; instead of having to provide them in the API
  request), and to store credentials to (e.g. received credentials from an issuance flow; instead of just returning them
  in the endpoint response).
