# Business payment-method relations

For a `PaymethodCredential` read, `params` may request the literal relations `business`, `paymethod`, `sites`, and `devices`. `business_id` and `paymethod_id` identify different sides of the association and are not interchangeable.

Examples should use synthetic contact details, gateway identifiers, and media URLs. No credential fields from `data` or `data_sandbox` belong in public examples.

The public API reference does not list a business-payment-method collection operation. This page describes the relation between payment methods and businesses without specifying a request URL.

See the [Business payment-method credential model](https://docs.ordering.co/api-reference/guides/business-paymethod-model/) and [global payment method model](https://docs.ordering.co/api-reference/guides/paymethods-model/).
