Why fashion & jewellery are a natural fit for USDT
Fashion and jewellery tickets in India are almost always UPI-settled at the till, whether the store is a standalone Tanishq showroom or a Zara counter inside a mall. That means the merchant already has a UPI QR — the only question is how INR arrives on the other side of that QR. With CryptoSe, USDT held in your own wallet is converted to INR at a locked rate at the moment you tap Pay, and the merchant receives a normal UPI credit.
Ticket sizes in this category typically range from ₹2,000 (fast-fashion basket) to ₹5–10 lakh (bridal jewellery). Both extremes work — but for anything above ₹50,000 we recommend checking the day's INR rate on /fee-calculator first.
What the flow looks like at the store
- Staff shows you their UPI QR (dynamic terminal QR is fastest — the amount is pre-filled).
- Open CryptoSe → Scan & Pay → point at the QR.
- Confirm merchant name, amount, and locked USDT→INR quote.
- Sign once from your connected wallet. Merchant sees a UPI credit within seconds.
- Save the tax-ready receipt (includes 1% TDS entry under Section 194S).
Jewellery-specific notes
For gold and diamond purchases above ₹2 lakh in a single transaction, the retailer will collect PAN under Rule 114B. This is a store-side compliance step, unrelated to CryptoSe — it happens regardless of how you pay. What CryptoSe adds is the on-chain hash and the FIU-aligned KYC record on our side, which many jewellers appreciate seeing during high-value settlements.

FAQs
Do luxury stores accept crypto directly?
No — they accept INR via their existing UPI terminal. CryptoSe does the USDT→INR conversion in the background so from the merchant's perspective it's a standard UPI payment.
Is there a per-transaction limit?
Retail UPI has a per-transaction cap of ₹1 lakh for most merchant categories and ₹5 lakh for jewellery/hospitals under the raised RBI limit. Above that, split the payment or use bank-transfer settlement via the merchant.
