# 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**.

**How to Create Payment Methods in Foodics**

Follow these steps to create and configure payment methods in the Foodics console:

1. **Login to your Foodics Web Console**.
2. Click on **Manage** from the main navigation.
3. Click on **More**.
4. Select **Payment Methods**.
5. Click on **Add Payment Method**.

A pop-up window will appear with the following fields:

* **Name**: Enter a descriptive name (e.g., *Talabat Cash*).
