# Configuring payment methods

Payment methods created in **Foodics** can be **mapped to specific delivery channels** on **UrbanPiper**. For example, you can associate all orders coming from platforms like **Talabat** or **Careem** with a designated payment method (e.g., *Talabat Cash*, *Careem Online*). This helps in **accurate sales reporting and reconciliation**.
