Payburner

Here are the features of Payburner (beta), a new platform that enables instant, global peer-to-peer payments:

• A non-custodial XRP wallet – comes with a key vault, secure login, and token wallet
• Works as a plug-in within the Chrome and Brave web browsers
• Also available as a browser app
• It works using Xpring, a tool for developers by Ripple
• Users can send and receive payments worldwide and instantaneously
• The system uses PayId (Every Payburner account is automatically a PayID) for payments
• You can search and discover other Wallet holders on the Payburner Network
• Pay buttons can be integrated into any website. Shoppers can purchase with one-click.
• Charges a 1% merchant fee on XRP e-commerce sales

“Payburner’s mission is to deliver excellent internet-based payment experiences starting with peer to peer payments and eCommerce,” said DeWitt in a Medium post. “We believe strongly in the freedoms digital assets like XRP deliver to individuals and businesses. Payburner’s role is to build an excellent and sustainable payment platform leveraging the best-in-class digital asset for payments, XRP.”

How it works

As mentioned above, Payburner allows users to send and receive payments using PayID.

Users can set up their PayID upon sign up in Payburner.

They can then share the ID to enable instant global payments.

To send payment, users can simply input the PayID of the recipient, enter the amount of XRP to send, and click send.

To request payment, users can input the PayID of the person they’re requesting money from, enter the amount requested, and add an optional message.
