# Create a Secondary (Tier-2) Merchant

> Step-by-step guide to creating a sub-account (secondary merchant) in UQPAY.

## Steps to Create a Sub-Account

**1. Access Sub-Account Creation**

Click **Create Sub-account** at the top-left corner. This option is only accessible when using your primary account, not when operating a sub-account.

**4. Specify Legal Entity Details**

You have two options:

* **New Legal Entity**: Select "Specify a new legal entity," provide the merchant short name, and complete the onboarding with all required information.
* **Existing Legal Entity**: Choose "Select from existing legal entities" to use the UEN workflow. Previously submitted information won't require re-entry.
