# Creating and Updating Objects

For expedience and convenience most create calls for a certain object allow for the creation of sub-objects when doing the initial creation. However, updating is purposefully always an atomic operation relating to only one object to prevent accidental data loss.

For example: When creating an Account you can concurrently create a new Payment Method. When updating, you will need to separately update a Payment Method by using the Payment Methods endpoints.
