The Complete Guide to Ordering on Soughat Shop: From Choosing to Delivery

In 9 simple steps you can send a gift, cash or a gold coin to your family in Iran from any country. This guide explains every screen exactly as you will see it on the site, even if you have never paid with crypto before.

  • 9 simple steps
  • No Iranian bank card needed
  • Persian-speaking WhatsApp support

Before you start: what you need to have ready

In this step: Six simple things that, when ready in advance, let you finish the order in a few minutes without stopping.

  • The recipient’s details

    For a physical gift: the receiver’s name, mobile number, province and city, and the exact address with the plate number (a postal code helps). For cash: the Shetab card number, IBAN or account number and the account holder’s name.

  • A crypto payment source

    A wallet, exchange or app that can send USDT, PYUSD or SOL on the Solana network. If you live in the U.S. and have PayPal, you can buy PYUSD right there.

  • A way to reach us

    Preferably WhatsApp (or Telegram), because the wallet address and payment coordination happen there. No WhatsApp? A phone call, SMS and the contact form are available.

  • The minimum order value

    Your cart total must be at least $10 (or the equivalent in EUR, GBP or SEK).

  • An account (optional)

    You can order as a guest, but with an account your addresses are saved, your orders stay in your profile and your first-order discount code is applied for you.

  • About 10 to 15 minutes

    That is what a first order usually takes. Later orders, with saved addresses and some experience, are much faster.

Choosing a product on Soughat Shop: gift boxes, sweets and nuts, flowers, gold coins and cash
A gift box, flowers, sweets, a gold coin or cash: pick whatever you would like to send

Step 1: Choose the product or service

In this step: Pick a gift, cash or a gold coin from the store and add it to your cart.

Start from the products page. Products are grouped into categories such as cash and gold, sweets and nuts, flowers, handicrafts and digital items, and the search bar at the top helps you find a specific product.

The price on each product is the final price: the item, the gift wrapping and the postal delivery are all included, and no separate shipping fee is added.

Set the display currency to USD, EUR, GBP or SEK from the top of the site (on mobile, from the “Menu” at the bottom of the page). Prices are based on the U.S. dollar and converted at the system’s live rate.

What to do

  1. Open the product you like to see its details and features.
  2. For a physical item, set the quantity and press “Add to cart”.
  3. For “cash remittance”, choose the payout amount in million Toman instead of a quantity and press “Confirm and add to cart”; the amount you pay is shown in your currency right away.

Check everything once more in the cart; shipping is free

Step 2: Review your cart

In this step: Check the items, quantities and total, then press “Checkout”.

The cart icon at the top of the site (on mobile: the bottom bar) opens your cart. You see each item, its unit price, the quantity and the total, and the “shipping cost” is shown as free.

The total is calculated at the live rate in the currency you selected. Your cart is stored in your browser, so even if you close the site now and come back later, your items are still there.

The minimum order is $10. If the cart total is lower, the site shows a “minimum order” message and you need to add more items.

What to do

  1. Increase or decrease the quantity of each item, or remove it with the delete icon.
  2. Check the “payable amount” and the display currency.
  3. Press “Checkout” to move on to the order details page.

Guest or member: both work, but an account makes things faster

Step 3: Sign in or continue as a guest

In this step: Signing in is optional, but it unlocks saved addresses, order history and your first-order discount.

On the order details page you can continue without creating an account. In that case your address and order history are not saved to an account, and the site reminds you of that.

Creating an account is free and takes under a minute. From the login page you can use “Continue with Google” or sign up with an email and password. For email sign-up, a confirmation link is sent to your inbox and you need to click it once.

The main benefits: you save recipient addresses once, every order stays under “My orders”, and if you are eligible, the 15% first-order discount code is applied for you at the payment step.

What to do

  1. Press “Login” and choose Google or email (or use the “Create a free account” link on the checkout page).
  2. If you signed up with email, open the confirmation email and click the confirm button.
  3. Go back to the cart; your items are still there. Then press “Checkout” again.

An exact address and a correct phone number are the most important part of the order

Step 4: Enter the sender and recipient details

In this step: Enter the recipient’s name, phone and exact address (and account details for cash); accuracy here decides delivery speed.

The “Complete your order” page has two stages: “Shipping info” and “Payment”. In the first stage you fill in three blocks. Fields marked with * are required.

1. Your details (sender): your full name, country of residence and a WhatsApp or mobile number with the country code (for example +49 for Germany). If you are signed in, “Fill with my info” completes this block for you.

2. Recipient details (in Iran): the receiver’s name, mobile number (like 0912…), province and city, and the exact address with the plate number. If you saved an address before, pick it from your saved addresses.

3. Order notes (optional): write the gift-card message, a convenient delivery time or a preferred date (for example a birthday) here. If you have a discount code, enter it in the “Discount code” box on the same page and press “Apply”.

For a cash remittance order you also see one extra block: “Payout details in Iran”. Simply enter whichever of these you have: the account holder’s name, the 16-digit card number, the IBAN (IR…) or the account number. The account holder can be different from the recipient, for example a sibling’s card.

A recommended pattern for writing the address

  1. Province and city, then the neighbourhood or district (for example: Tehran, Shahrak-e Gharb).
  2. The main and side street, then the alley or dead end.
  3. The plate number, floor and unit, plus a building name or a clear landmark.
  4. The 10-digit postal code (if you have it) and a mobile number the recipient will definitely answer.
  5. Finally press “Confirm details and go to payment”.

The exact amount payable in USDT, PYUSD or Solana is shown right here

Step 5: Review the invoice and choose your payment coin

In this step: See the exact order amount in USDT, PYUSD or Solana, know the network, and register the order.

After “Confirm details”, your order is registered in the system and you move to the “Payment” stage. The side panel shows the order summary, the shipping cost (free) and the amount payable.

In the “Choose the payment coin” box you can pick USDT (the default), PYUSD (PayPal’s dollar stablecoin, great for U.S. residents) or SOL. The exact amount payable appears under your choice.

The calculation is transparent: the order amount in your currency is first converted to dollars at the system’s live rate. Every 1 USDT and 1 PYUSD counts as exactly $1; for SOL the live market price is used and there is a “Refresh rate” button. The “Calculation transparency” box shows these steps with numbers.

If you want to pay with another coin such as Bitcoin, tick “I want to pay with another cryptocurrency”; confirm the order and simply tell us in WhatsApp which coin you prefer.

If you are signed in and your Soughat Shop wallet balance is enough, the “Pay with wallet” tab becomes available and the amount is deducted from your dollar balance with one click.

What to do

  1. Choose the payment coin (if unsure, USDT or PYUSD).
  2. Read the amount payable carefully and note it down.
  3. Read the “Network warning”: USDT and PYUSD only on the Solana (SPL) network.
  4. Press “Confirm amount and continue”; you are taken to the order confirmation page.

Step 6: Get the wallet address on WhatsApp and pay

In this step: Your invoice is registered; save the order code, get the wallet address on WhatsApp and send the exact amount.

On the “Order registered successfully” page you see your order’s tracking code with a copy button. Save it; you need it for tracking.

The “Contact on WhatsApp and get the wallet address” button is right there. It opens WhatsApp with a ready-made message that contains your order number; just send it. If you are not sure which wallet or app to pay from, each card (PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, Revolut, Kraken, Coinbase, Binance and more) opens its own guide, and the WhatsApp message includes your chosen method.

Our support team sends you the wallet address and the correct network. The reason the address is not shown on the page for now is security: the automatic gateway is temporarily disabled to prevent any mistake in the transfer, and the address is given through direct coordination.

What to do

  1. Copy your tracking code and store it somewhere safe.
  2. Press “Contact on WhatsApp and get the wallet address” and send the ready-made message.
  3. Copy and paste the address and network sent by support into your wallet or exchange app; never type it by hand.
  4. Set the network to Solana, match the first and last characters of the address with the support message, and send the exact invoice amount.
  5. Finally, send the transaction ID (TxID) or a screenshot to support so your payment can be matched faster.
Payment confirmed and the order being prepared: gift wrapping and quality checks by the Soughat Shop team in Tehran
After the payment is confirmed, your gift is checked, wrapped and made ready to ship

Step 7: Payment confirmation and order preparation

In this step: Our team verifies the payment and the order moves into preparation (or, for cash, into the deposit).

As soon as we see your transaction on the network and match it to the invoice, the payment is confirmed and the order status changes from “Pending payment” to “Paid”. Key milestones (payment confirmed, shipped, delivered) are also sent to you on WhatsApp or Telegram.

For a physical gift: the product is sourced from the nearest reputable store to the recipient’s address or from Tehran, checked for authenticity, condition and quality before shipping, and then gift-wrapped. If you wrote a message in the order notes, it is printed on a postcard and placed on the gift. There is no invoice or price tag on the parcel.

For cash: there is no physical shipping; the amount is deposited straight into the recipient’s bank account. You can read the timing in the next step and in the “Sending cash” section. A gold coin is checked, packed and shipped like any physical gift.

You can cancel free of charge before the payment is confirmed. After confirmation, because crypto transactions are irreversible, a full cancellation is not possible; but if an address or other detail needs correcting, tell support as soon as you can and we will apply the change depending on the preparation stage.

Step 8: Doorstep delivery or deposit to the recipient’s account

In this step: Tehran and Alborz the same day, other cities by registered post in 1 to 3 business days, and cash by direct deposit.

Tehran and Alborz: if the recipient is in Tehran or Alborz province (including Tehran and Karaj) and the order was placed with enough time before the end of the business day, the gift is delivered to the door the same day. Some special products or custom boxes may need more preparation and arrive the next business day.

Other cities in Iran: the order is sent by registered post and reaches the recipient in 1 to 3 business days, depending on the distance from Tehran.

Cash: the amount is deposited directly into the recipient’s bank account, regardless of their city. Our target is a deposit in under 30 minutes and within 1 hour at most after your payment is confirmed; the recipient gets the bank’s SMS and you receive a bank receipt.

Proof of delivery: for physical gifts (including gold coins), a photo of the handover is sent to you via WhatsApp or Telegram at the moment of delivery. If the recipient is unavailable, our team coordinates with them or with you to set a new time.

With the tracking code, know where your order is at any moment

Step 9: Track your order with the tracking code

In this step: Enter the tracking code on the tracking page and follow your order from “Pending payment” to “Delivered”.

Go to the order tracking page, enter the tracking code you saved in step 6 and press “Track”. The recipient’s name, the order date and the current stage are shown.

If you ordered with an account, all your orders are in your profile under “My orders”. From there you can see the financial details and recipient information, copy the public tracking link to share, and press “Complete and pay” for an order that is not paid yet.

What the order statuses on the tracking page mean

  1. 1. Pending payment

    Your invoice is registered and we are waiting for the payment or its verification. If you already paid, send the transaction ID on WhatsApp.

  2. 2. Paid

    Your payment is confirmed. The gift is being sourced, checked and wrapped, or the cash deposit is being processed.

  3. 3. Sent

    The order has left preparation and is on its way to the recipient.

  4. 4. Delivered

    The order has reached the recipient. For a physical gift, a delivery photo is also sent to you.

  5. Cancelled

    The order has been cancelled. Contact support for more information.

Sending cash to a bank card: what is different

In this step: The steps are the same 9, with four important differences described below.

You choose the amount in million Toman. On the cash remittance page you pick from 1 to 100 million Toman in 1-million steps. Because the minimum order is $10, the smallest orderable amount is a few million Toman at the current rate; the live calculator in the cheapest way to send money article shows the minimum and exact amounts right now.

You enter the recipient’s account details. In step 4 the “Payout details in Iran” block appears. A Shetab card number is the simplest option; an IBAN or account number is accepted too.

There is no courier. The recipient just sees a normal bank deposit and the bank’s SMS, and you receive a bank receipt.

Timing does not depend on the city. Our target is a deposit in under 30 minutes and within 1 hour at most after your payment is confirmed.

A saved address and a wallet cut your next order down to seconds

Faster repeat orders: saved addresses, wallet and resuming an order

In this step: With an account, your second and third orders become much shorter.

Saved addresses: in your profile, under “Addresses”, save your regular recipients (for example Mom’s house) together with their optional bank details. At checkout just pick one and everything is filled in for you.

Sender details filled in automatically: if you enter your country and phone number in your profile, the “Fill with my info” button at checkout inserts them for you.

The Soughat Shop wallet: from the “Wallet” tab in your profile you can top up a dollar balance. Like an order, a top-up is done with a wallet address you get on WhatsApp. After topping up, the “Pay with wallet” tab becomes available at the payment step, so later orders are paid without a new on-chain transfer. The wallet balance is always held in U.S. dollars.

Resuming an unfinished order: if the invoice was registered but you had not paid yet, press “Complete and pay” under “My orders”. All recipient and item details are already saved; only the payment remains.

Requesting a custom gift: choosing a product that is not in the Soughat Shop catalogue and having the team source it
You can ask for anything that is not in the catalogue

Product not in the store? Request a custom gift

In this step: Enter the product price, see the final price and send the request through WhatsApp.

On the custom gifts page you enter the Toman price of a product you saw in another store into the calculator, and the final price (delivery included) is shown in dollars.

If you like the price, you send us the product details (name, link and notes) with one click through a ready-made WhatsApp message. In most cases our team replies with the final price and an estimated delivery time on the same business day.

After you confirm, the product is added to the store and from step 2 onward you proceed like any other order.

Know the common mistakes so none of them happen to you

Common mistakes when ordering and how to avoid them

In this step: The six issues that come up most often, each with a simple fix.

  • Mistake: Sending USDT or PYUSD over TRC20 or ERC20

    What happens
    The funds go to the wrong network and are lost.
    How to avoid it
    Set the network to Solana (SPL) in your app and check it again before confirming.
  • Mistake: Typing the wallet address by hand

    What happens
    A single wrong character means sending to another address and losing the money.
    How to avoid it
    Always copy and paste, and match the first and last characters with the support message.
  • Mistake: Sending less than the invoice (for example because of a wallet fee)

    What happens
    The payment stays incomplete and the order is confirmed later.
    How to avoid it
    Buy slightly more so that after the fee the amount received is not below the invoice.
  • Mistake: An incomplete recipient phone number or address

    What happens
    The courier cannot reach the recipient and the delivery is delayed.
    How to avoid it
    Use the address pattern in step 4 and give a number the recipient will definitely answer.
  • Mistake: A wrong card number or IBAN on a cash order

    What happens
    The deposit stalls or goes to another account. The money-back guarantee does not cover incorrect information you entered.
    How to avoid it
    Get the number from the recipient or from their banking app and re-read it before confirming.
  • Mistake: Losing the tracking code

    What happens
    Tracking the order becomes harder.
    How to avoid it
    Copy the code right away. If you lose it, find it under “My orders” in your account or message support.

Help, changes and cancellations after ordering

In this step: For any question or change, have your tracking code ready and contact us.

WhatsApp and Telegram: the fastest way. The message that opens from the site button already contains your order number. Support hours are 9 AM to midnight Iran time.

Call and SMS: use +1 (650) 671-2358 if you do not have WhatsApp.

Contact form: fill in the form on the contact page and our colleagues will reach you by phone or email.

Changes after payment: until the order enters its final shipping stage, details such as the delivery address can be corrected; just give support your order code as soon as possible.

Paid but no confirmation: send the transaction hash (TxID) on WhatsApp; we check it manually and confirm the order.

Frequently asked questions about the Soughat Shop ordering process with question marks and light bulbs
Short answers to the questions that come up while ordering

Frequently asked questions about the ordering process

Here we only answer questions that come up while placing an order. For broader questions about shipping, guarantees and pricing, see the customer Q&A and the terms and guarantees.

Do I have to create an account to place an order?

No. You can order as a guest. Just note that a guest order is not saved under “My orders” and addresses are not stored, so keep your tracking code. Creating an account is free and takes under a minute.

How should I write the recipient’s address so the courier finds it without extra calls?

Write it in order: province and city, district, main and side street, alley, plate number, floor and unit, and if possible the postal code and a clear landmark. Give a mobile number you are sure the recipient answers. Example: “Tehran, Shahrak-e Gharb, Dadman Blvd, 9th Alley, No. 12, Unit 4”.

What happens if I close the page or lose my connection in the middle of ordering?

The form data and the cart items stay in the same browser so you can continue. If the invoice was already registered and you were signed in, press “Complete and pay” under “My orders”. If you were a guest, send your tracking code to support on WhatsApp.

Why is the USDT amount not the same number as the euro or pound total in my cart?

Because pricing is based on the U.S. dollar. Your order total is converted to dollars at the system’s live rate, and since 1 USDT equals $1, the USDT amount is the dollar amount. The steps are written out with numbers in the “Calculation transparency” box under the amount payable. If you set your currency to USD, no conversion is needed.

Why do I get the wallet address on WhatsApp instead of seeing it on the page?

For extra security and to prevent any mistake in the transfer, the automatic gateway is temporarily disabled and the address is given directly through support. This also lets you confirm the amount and network with a person before paying. Only trust an address you received from official support in this conversation.

After sending the crypto, do I need to send anything to support?

It is not mandatory, but sending the transaction ID (TxID) or a screenshot helps the team find the payment and match it to your order faster. If you have paid and have not received a confirmation after a while, definitely send the TxID.

I lost my tracking code. How do I find it?

If you ordered with an account, you can see it in your profile under “My orders”. If you were a guest, look in the WhatsApp chat where you sent the initial order message, or message support with your name and phone number so they can find the order.

My order is still “Pending payment”. What should I do?

That status means your payment has not been registered or verified yet. If you already sent the crypto, send the transaction ID on WhatsApp so it can be checked manually. If you have not sent it yet, send the ready-made WhatsApp message and get the wallet address.

Can I order several products for several recipients in one order?

Each order has one recipient. You can put several products for the same person in one cart, but different recipients need separate orders. If you saved the addresses in your profile, the next order takes only a few seconds. The same applies to combining cash and a physical gift: if they are for two different people, place them separately.

How do I pay with my Soughat Shop wallet?

Sign in and top up a dollar balance from the “Wallet” tab in your profile. Then at the payment step of any order, if the balance is enough, the “Pay with wallet” tab becomes active; pressing “Pay and submit order” deducts the amount from your balance instantly. The wallet balance is always held in U.S. dollars.

For a cash remittance, is a card number enough?

Yes. Enter whichever of the card number, IBAN or account number you have. A card number is the simplest. If the card belongs to someone other than the recipient (for example a brother), also write the account holder’s name.

How do I change the site’s currency?

Use the currency selector at the top of the site (on mobile, in the “Menu” at the bottom of the page) to choose USD, EUR, GBP or SEK. Prices and your cart convert to the new currency immediately.

I ordered outside support hours. What happens?

You can place an order on the site 24 hours a day and your invoice is registered. Your WhatsApp message stays in the chat and support sends the wallet address in the first available hour (9 AM to midnight Iran time). If the order is urgent, try to place it during support hours.

Can I use the site like an app on my phone?

Yes. Soughat Shop is optimised for mobile and you can add it to your phone’s home screen from the install prompt or the browser menu so it opens like an app without typing the address.

Ready to place your first order?

Now that you know every step, it takes just a few minutes. If you have a question at any point, our Persian-speaking support is with you on WhatsApp.
