At Ez Web Company, we’re excited to offer XRP as a payment option for our services. XRP is a fast, secure, and low-cost cryptocurrency, making it an efficient way to settle payments. This is a simple guide to pay website services using XRP, including a compairson on crypto fees at several exchanges.
This is a comphrensiveguide to help clients pay with XRP. I’ve included multiple payment options, compared exchanges like Uphold to others with lower fees, explored Point of Sale (POS) and private transaction solutions. If you are new to XRP, have existing XRP, or want to purchase XRP and send it as payment this guide has information to explain the process. I have included information about the fees involved to purchase and send XRP using four popular crypto exchanges.
Be careful when transfering crypto. We are not responsible for lost XRP or fluncations in XRP values. If you have any questions, call Steu before getting started with your transaction.
If you already have XRP in your hard wallet, or software wallet, you can send the payment directly to Steu's XRP wallet address. This is the simplest and most cost-effective method since it avoids third-party fees.
Send the Payment
Amount: Send the XRP equivalent to [insert amount, e.g., "$100 USD"] at the current exchange rate. Check the latest rate at CoinMarketCap.

An exchange is used to purchase or sell crypto. Here’s a comparison of four common exchanges: Coinbase, Uphold, Kraken, and BitPay for buying and selling XRP, focusing on fees and ease of use:
Coinbase:
Currently, Coinbase does not support buying or selling XRP for any users due to a suspension following regulatory issues with the SEC.
Uphold
Uphold supports XRP trading for all users, including those in the USA.
Kraken
Kraken allows XRP trading for non-US users but has suspended it for US residents due to regulatory restrictions.
BitPay
BitPay is primarily focused on Bitcoin transactions and does not support buying or selling XRP.
Note: Since location impacts availability (especially for US residents), I’ll assume you might be in the USA unless specified otherwise, but I’ll also cover non-US options for completeness.
Here’s how the fees stack up for platforms that support XRP.
Uphold (USA users)
Spread: Approximately 0.65% to 1.5% per transaction, depending on market conditions.
Withdrawal Fee: 2.99 XRP to transfer XRP to an external wallet.
No additional fees for debit card purchases, but the spread is the main cost factor.
Kraken (for non-US users only):
Maker-Taker Fees:
Maker fee: 0.16% (if you add liquidity to the order book).
Taker fee: 0.26% (if you take liquidity from the order book).
Instant Buy Fee: 1.5% for simpler purchases, which is higher than the maker-taker model.
Withdrawal fees vary but are typically lower than Uphold’s 2.99 XRP.
Coinbase: Not applicable (XRP trading unavailable).
BitPay: Not applicable (XRP trading unavailable).
Fee Summary:
For US residents, Uphold is the only option, with fees ranging from 0.65% to 1.5% spread + 2.99 XRP withdrawal.
For non-US users, Kraken offers the lowest fees at 0.16% to 0.26% using the maker-taker model, significantly cheaper than Uphold’s spread.
Uphold
Known for its user-friendly interface, ideal for beginners.
Features a one-step trading process, allowing direct trades between assets without complex steps. It offers a free, simple mobile app for easy access.
Kraken (for non-US users):
Interface is more advanced, with detailed charting tools and order types (e.g., limit orders).
Better suited for experienced traders; may feel overwhelming for beginners.
Still offers a mobile app, but the focus is on functionality over simplicity.
Coinbase
While known for its beginner-friendly design, it’s irrelevant here since XRP isn’t supported.
BitPay
Focused on payment processing, not trading, so it’s not user-friendly for buying/selling XRP.
For US Residents
Best Option: Uphold
Why: It’s the only platform among the four that supports XRP trading in the USA.
Fees: Spread of 0.65% to 1.5% + 2.99 XRP withdrawal—not the lowest possible, but your only choice here.
Ease of Use: Highly user-friendly, making it great for beginners or anyone prioritizing simplicity.
Best for Lower Fees: Kraken
Why: Offers 0.16% to 0.26% maker-taker fees, the lowest among the options.
Ease of Use: Less beginner-friendly due to its advanced interface, but manageable with some experience.
Best for Ease of Use: Uphold
Why: Simpler interface, though fees (0.65% to 1.5%) are higher than Kraken’s.
Trade-off: You pay more for convenience.
Coinbase and BitPay
Neither is viable for XRP trading, regardless of location as of 01 March, 2025.
If you don’t own XRP yet, you can purchase it from a cryptocurrency exchange and send it to us. We’ve compared a few exchanges below to help you choose based on fees and ease of use:
For Lower Fees
Kraken – Trading fees: 0.16% (maker) or 0.26% (taker); Withdrawal fee: 0.02 XRP.
Bitstamp – Trading fees: 0.10% to 0.25% (based on volume); Withdrawal fee: 0.0005 XRP.
For Ease of Use
Uphold – Spread: ~1.5%; Withdrawal fee: 2.99 XRP. Great for beginners with a simple interface.
Step-by-Step Guide

2. Verify Your Account: Complete the identity verification process (this may take a few hours to a few days).
3. Deposit Funds: Add money via bank transfer, credit/debit card, or other methods.
4. Buy XRP: Use your funds to purchase XRP on the exchange.
5. Withdraw XRP to Steu's Wallet:
A. Go to the "Withdraw" or "Send" section.
B. Enter Steu’s XRP wallet address: rE52v3Hjh9PD2uBsG2EjEs5rgMtLGx2EZk
C. If required, include a destination tag:. Steu’s wallett does not require this tag.
D. Specify the amount of XRP to send.
E. Confirm the withdrawal.
Fee Comparison
Kraken/Bitstamp: Lower trading fees (0.10%-0.26%) and tiny withdrawal fees (<0.02 XRP). Best for cost savings.
Uphold: Higher fees (1.5% spread + 2.99 XRP withdrawal), but simpler for newcomers.
You get flexibility to buy XRP from trusted platforms. Kraken or Bitstamp save you money, while Uphold is beginner-friendly.
XRP transactions settle in 3-5 seconds with fees under a penny, making it a win-win for speed and affordability.
New to XRP?
Start with Uphold if you’re a beginner, or explore this XRP Beginner’s Guide for more info.
Point of Sale (POS) Apps:
While traditional POS apps (like those for in-person card payments) aren’t common for XRP, CoinGate serves a similar purpose online. For private transactions, such as a direct wallet transfer, it works like a POS by letting EZ Web Company, Steu, request a specific XRP amount from your wallet.
What about the best exchange?
Uphold is the only platform, currently, among the four that supports XRP trading in the USA.
Coinbase and BitPay: Neither is viable for XRP trading, regardless of location as of 01 March, 2025 due to regulation issues. Kranken is available to non-USA users.
Note: Cryptocurrency regulations can vary by state in the USA, so it’s a good idea to check the specific terms and availability of these platforms in your location.
What’s a destination tag?
It’s a unique code to identify your payment. Include it only if we’ve provided one.
How do I calculate the XRP amount?
Check CoinMarketCap to convert your payment (e.g., $100 USD) to XRP based on the current rate.
Can I pay with other cryptocurrencies?
Yes, via CoinGate you can pay with other coins, and we’ll receive XRP or fiat.

Steu Mann
There are three steps in this process of collaboration to design and publish your website.
First, we will have a meeting to review your current situation and discuss your goals and ideas to move forward. If you like, I will provide you with an audit of your website and go over those results in a second phone call. There is no fee for the website audit.
Secondly, I will provide a written estimate to you covering what we discussed.
The third step is implementing my estimate. You make a payment and the work begins to create your business showcase. This is an easy process.
I do work with almost all types websites including all website platforms and independent websites.
For example Wordpress and Wix are two website platforms.
An independent website means software that is purchased by the website owner is used to construct the website. For example, Blocs and Rapidweaver are two of those software.
Some businesses have a Content Management System (CMS). Ialso work on those type of websites.
If you are doing a new domain website that has not been published before, it will take a few months before the search engines recognize your content.
If you are using an existing domain and rebuilding the website on that domain, as a general rule, we should see SEO (Search Engine Optimization) results within six to ten weeks.
Any SEO campaign will always work work more efficiently when fresh, quality content is implemented using current search tech.
A website monger creates, publishes, and sustains websites. By focusing on these quality content, website tech, user experience, and common website metrics a website client will enhance their online presence - reputation. Whether it's through professional design, effective SEO, or targeted marketing, investing in your website is crucial for competing in today's digital landscape.
The cost to being your website project depends on the scope of work involved. Another variable depends on if you want a new website or a website upgrade, which is also referred to as a rebranding campaign.
Once we have a conversation, or two, you will have a clear idea on scope of work and a fixed price covering 12 months with a written estimate.
