This task establishes the foundation for a usable Selstack workspace. This guide focuses on how to create the correct merchant workspace and give it a recognisable public identity.
Know which workspace you are creating
Your first business workspace is created during signup. Adding another business is a Pro feature, so the Add business navigation can take a Free account to Billing instead of opening a creation form.
Start from the supported route
If Pro is active, use Add business and complete the business setup shown by Selstack. Enter a recognisable business name and confirm the country and default wallet currency before accepting payments.
Keep public identity separate from legal payout details
The Stack display name can be a brand, while payout verification can require the account owner’s legal identity. Do not put a BVN, bank number or identity document in the public About field.
Confirm the active workspace
After creation, check the business name in the workspace header. Open Settings → Stack profile and Dashboard before creating offers so content and financial activity are not attached to the wrong business.
If Add business opens Billing
That is the current plan boundary, not a broken form. Upgrade only if a separate workspace is genuinely required; otherwise keep distinct offers inside the existing Stack.
Example: Create and Name a New Business Workspace
A consultant can keep several services in one Stack; a second legal brand needs its own Pro business workspace only when its identity and records genuinely need separation.
If Create and Name a New Business Workspace is not working
If Add business opens Billing, the current account does not have the Pro workspace entitlement.

When to ask Selstack for help
Contact official Selstack support when the saved result, status or resolved identity still conflicts with the intended record after one refresh. Include the business, page, time, safe reference and visible message. Do not include passwords, OTPs, recovery codes, full card details, BVN, NIN or unmasked bank documents.
