# Business payment-method setup history

Earlier documentation described adding a project-level payment method to a business through `POST /business/{business_id}/paymethods` after selecting a global `paymethod_id`.

The public API reference does not list an operation for this business-to-payment-method association. The global `POST /paymethods` operation creates a different resource and must not be presented as an equivalent business-association endpoint.

Do not use the route above as a supported operation. 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/) for the distinction.
