Which Business category and subcategory to select for mobile ,computer and electronic accosories in Shopify Payments?

Hi @mostafi ,

This is Ellie from BOGOS.io Free Gifts.

I’d recommend you select the business category “Retail”.

If you believe that none of the available subcategories accurately represent your products, please choose “Other merchandise”.

You can share the store link with me, and I can assist you in determining the most suitable subcategory based on the products you sell.

If you find this helpful, appreciate it if you could give me a Like or accept it as a Solution. :sparkling_heart:

Wish you all the best with the business,

Ellie
