Before You Begin: Requirements

To pay with XRP on Traffic Creator, you'll need:

  • An XRP wallet with sufficient funds to cover your purchase
  • Basic understanding of how to send XRP from your wallet
  • A Traffic Creator account
  • Awareness of the XRP destination tag system (explained below)

Caution: XRP transactions are irreversible. Always double-check the payment details, including the destination tag, before confirming your transaction. Traffic Creator cannot reverse or refund incorrect XRP payments that were sent to the wrong address or with an incorrect destination tag.

Understanding XRP Destination Tags

Unlike Bitcoin, XRP uses a system of destination tags (also called memo IDs) to route payments to specific accounts within a service:

  • What is a destination tag? It's a numeric identifier that helps exchanges and services route your XRP to the correct user account.
  • Why is it important? Without the correct destination tag, your payment may not be credited to your Traffic Creator account, even if you send it to the correct XRP address.
  • How to use it? When sending XRP, you'll need to enter both the XRP address AND the destination tag provided during checkout.

Critical: Always include the destination tag when sending XRP to Traffic Creator. Payments sent without the correct destination tag may be lost or require manual recovery, which can take several weeks and may incur additional fees.

    • The exact amount of XRP to send (calculated based on the current exchange rate)

Step 4: Wait for Confirmation

  1. After sending the payment, the system will typically detect your transaction within a few seconds to minutes
  2. The payment page will update to show that your transaction has been detected
  3. Once your transaction is validated on the XRP Ledger (usually within seconds), you'll be redirected to a confirmation page
  4. Your Traffic Creator credits will be added to your account, and your campaign will be set up according to your specifications

Troubleshooting XRP Payments

If your payment isn't being detected after 5 minutes:

  1. Verify that you sent the exact amount to the correct address with the correct destination tag
  2. Check if the transaction appears in an XRP Ledger explorer like XRPScan or Bithomp
  3. Ensure your transaction has been confirmed on the XRP Ledger
  4. Contact our support team with your Traffic Creator username, the XRP transaction hash, and a screenshot of the transaction from your wallet

If the payment timer expired:

  • DO NOT send payment to the expired address/tag combination
  • Start the purchase process again to generate a new payment address, destination tag, and amount based on the current exchange rate
  • If you already sent funds to an expired address/tag, contact our support team immediately with your transaction details

If you sent XRP without the destination tag:

  • Your payment will not be automatically credited to your account
  • Contact our support team immediately with the following information:
    • Your Traffic Creator username
    • The XRP transaction hash
    • The exact amount sent
    • The sending wallet address
    • Screenshots of the transaction
  • Recovery of funds sent without a destination tag may take several weeks and could incur additional processing fees

If you sent a different amount than what was requested:

  • Sent less: Your payment may not be processed automatically. Contact support with your transaction details, and they may request you to send the remaining amount.
  • Sent more: The system will process your payment for the ordered amount. Contact support regarding the excess amount, and they will assist with either crediting your account or processing a refund.

XRP Transaction Fees and Exchange Rates

When paying with XRP, be aware of these financial considerations:

  • Exchange Rate: The XRP amount is calculated using a real-time exchange rate at the moment you reach the payment page. This rate is locked in for the duration of the payment timer (typically 15-30 minutes).
  • XRP Network Fees: You'll need to pay XRP network fees, which are extremely low (typically 0.00001 XRP). These fees go to XRP Ledger validators, not to Traffic Creator.
  • Processing Fee: Traffic Creator may charge a small processing fee for cryptocurrency payments. This fee, if applicable, will be displayed during checkout.
  • Minimum Reserve: Be aware that XRP wallets require a minimum reserve (currently 10 XRP) that cannot be sent. Ensure your wallet has enough XRP above this reserve to complete your transaction.

Pro Tip: XRP transactions are extremely fast and inexpensive compared to many other cryptocurrencies, making it an excellent choice for international payments where traditional banking methods might be costly or slow.

XRP Payment Security

To ensure the security of your XRP payments:

  • Always access Traffic Creator through the official website (https://traffic-creator.com) to avoid phishing attempts
  • Verify the XRP address and destination tag before sending funds - Traffic Creator will never ask you to send XRP via email or support chat
  • Use two-factor authentication (2FA) for your Traffic Creator account and your XRP wallet or exchange account, if available
  • Consider using a hardware wallet for storing your XRP if you frequently make large transactions
