# Business payment-method credential model

A `PaymethodCredential`, where supported, associates one business with one project-level `Paymethod`. This is distinct from the global payment-method definition and from a user's saved payment method.

Representative model fields include `id`, `paymethod_id`, `business_id`, `sandbox`, `enabled`, `allowed_order_types`, and the literal field `maximun`. The model also contains `data` and `data_sandbox`, which can hold credential configuration and must not be copied into documentation or examples. Relations include `business`, `paymethod`, `sites`, and `devices`.

If available, the operation applies administrator/business-manager access and business ownership checks. The public API reference does not list the `/business/{business}/paymethods` collection, so its availability and complete schema are unconfirmed.

See [Business payment-method relations](https://docs.ordering.co/api-reference/guides/business-pamethod-special-request/) for the retained relation-loading behavior and [payment method model](https://docs.ordering.co/api-reference/guides/paymethods-model/) for the global definition.
