2. Locate the 'Manage Merchant Settings' Option: Within the Settings section, find the option dedicated to managing merchants. Click on it to proceed.
3. Click on 'Create New Merchant ID': You'll find an option labelled 'Create New Merchant’. Clicking on this will initiate the process of setting up your MID.
4. Name Your Merchant ID: Assign a name to your MID. This name can be your business name, a specific department, or any identifier that makes sense for your operations.
5. Link to Your Wallet: Every MID needs to be attached to one of your BVNK account wallets. Select the desired wallet, whether it's fiat or crypto, to which your MID will be linked.
6. Confirm and Create: After filling in the necessary details, click on the 'Confirm' button. Your new Merchant ID will be generated and ready for use.

With your Merchant ID set up, you're now ready to accept payments from customers. Each MID offers flexibility with its unique name, display currency, and linked wallet, ensuring you have full control over your payment operations.
