Alchemy Work Principle
When a customer checks out at the cashier counter, the cashier will key in the payment amount in local currency (say SGD500) on the Alchemy Hybrid Merchant APP. Upon confirming the payment currency with the customer (in crypto or fiat), in this case, the customer pays in BTC, a QR code will then be generated on the Alchemy Hybrid Merchant APP along with payment amount in BTC (approximately 0.0932 BTC). The customer scans the QR code with their crypto wallet and the transaction is completed.
