As part of the payment activation process, you need to select the industry that best represents your business. This is Step 2 in the setup walkthrough.

How to Select Your Industry

  1. Navigate to the Industry step in the setup process.

  2. Choose one or more industry categories that match your services.

    • For example, if you run a beauty salon offering hairdressing and nail services, select Hair & Beauty Salons.

    • If your business also provides tattooing, select Tattoo Studios in addition to Hair & Beauty Salons.

  3. Some industries are marked as Coming Soon—these will be available later.

  4. Certain industries, like Health, allow further specification.

    • If you select Health, you will see a "Specify Industries" section where you can choose more specific categories, such as pharmacies & drug stores, physicians etc.

    • This ensures that your business is categorized correctly for payment processing.

  5. If your business doesn’t fit any listed category, select Other, where you can specify more details.

💡 Don't see your exact business type?
That's normal — the list uses broad categories, so your specific service (for example coaching) may sit inside a wider one. Pick the closest match to what you actually do:

  • Instructional / teaching services → Classes & lessons, Courses, or Workshops & education

  • Fitness or sports coaching → Personal trainer or Sports

If nothing fits, choose Other and describe your business in the details field. Your industry choice helps categorize your account for payment processing — it doesn't restrict what you can offer.
