# Update a business

> **API operation:** [Open the endpoint in Scalar](https://docs.ordering.co/api-reference/#tag/business/POST/business/{business})

Use `POST /business/{business}` to partially update a business by numeric ID. The current public operation is `Business.update`.

The final path parameter is `{business}` and identifies the business to update. Older integrations may refer to this identifier as `business_id`.

This route requires administrator or business-manager authentication. A business manager can update only a business connected to that manager. Send only fields that need to change; field validation, images, schedules, taxes, owners, and other relations remain operation-specific.

## Legacy SDK example

```javascript
const response = await ordering.businesses(businessId).save()
```

This SDK helper is legacy syntax; confirm that your package and version support it before use.
