XRP eCommerce Platform Is Arriving Soon: Ripple Product Director

The product director at Ripple, Craig DeWitt, is in the latest cryptocurrency news for announcing the development of an XRP eCommerce platform which will work as a plugin on a website that enables XRP payments.

As a tweet by DeWitt showed yesterday, the product director announced that he is considering the development of an XRP based eCommerce payment platform. DeWitt launched many other XRP based products as of recently (xSongs is an example) and the new project will be designed to help web operators accept XRP payments with a simple and quick code snippet.

Considering launching an e-commerce payments platform using payburner, open to the world… the guts of #xsongs already does this beautifully.

Make it stupid simple to use so anyone can accept #XRP payments in their personal sites with a simple code snippet.

The XRP news today show that DeWitt’s vision is to make the payments “stupid simple” and help more people embrace the cryptocurrency on their websites. As early as December 2019, DeWitt released xSongs which is a market where creators can sell their digital content and musicians their music via the peer-to-peer payments in XRP.

DeWitt also mentioned in a tweet that the XRP eCommerce plugin could use Payburner, which is a browser extension which xSongs is also using. For those of you who don’t know, Payburner is a XRP wallet that provides additional features such as automatic registration and “one-click payments” on any website.

DeWitt’s proposal received a lot of positive feedback within the XRP community. The founder of XRP Labs, Wietse Wind, was one of the quickest to comment about the XRP eCommerce platform. Wind explained his enthusiasm for the idea by DeWitt and offered support, stating:

“We could team up, doing payburner and #xumm implementations (enable one or both in a simple e-commerce platform specific admin module) at once?“

Wind later on updated the threat and said that both developers had come together to work on the project, commenting that “they are looking at WooCommerce and Shopify for the first plugins.”

DeWitt’s new proposal marks another initiative by Ripple to increase the use and adoption of the XRP token. A few days ago, information about a new trading platform that is supposed to be based on On-Demand Liquidity and the XRP token became public.

Meanwhile, market information today shows that the Ripple XRP price is trading at $0.1999 with a 0.56% decline on the day.
