# Enable payment methods for an entity

`PUT /entities/{entity_id}/payment_methods`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.sandbox.monite.com/v1`
- URL: `https://api.sandbox.monite.com/v1/entities/{entity_id}/payment_methods`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Sets or updates the list of payment methods available to an entity to send and receive payments. [Payment links](https://docs.monite.com/docs/payment-links) created by this entity can use only the specified payment methods. Supported payment methods [vary by country](https://docs.monite.com/payments/payment-methods).

Some payment methods require that the entity completes the [onboarding process](https://docs.monite.com/payments/onboarding/index). These payment methods are indicated by the `inactive` status in the response and will become `active` after successful onboarding.

The specified list of payment methods replaces the previous methods chosen by the entity. Removed payment methods become inactive and can no longer be used in payment links.
