Ripple, a leading blockchain payments infrastructure provider, has launched a new "Try It" feature in its Payments API documentation. The tool allows developers to test XRP payments without login or real funds. Like a test drive in a car showroom.

The company aims to offer a risk-free way for potential customers to explore Ripple's payment solutions.

Developers can access the testing tool on API documentation pages. These include Ripple Payments, Smart Liquidation Service, and Report Service.

Ripple stated in a blog post that the feature simulates real requests. It provides instant responses. This helps developers ensure correct integration before live deployment.

The "Try It" tool offers real-time testing. Developers see immediate results from API calls. This instant feedback aids troubleshooting and application refinement.

Previously, developers needed API credentials to test. This process often caused delays. The new feature eliminates this barrier.

Ripple's development team is working to integrate the tool into Ripple Payments Direct API. This integration is expected in the coming weeks.

The introduction of "Try It" is a strategic move by Ripple. It aims to drive broader adoption of its payment solutions. Ripple has been active in the crypto economy since 2014.

Last month, Ripple reportedly partnered with Apple. They plan to roll out a new payment solution called "Tap to Pay", which is definitely something many of us have dreamt about for a while. It will allow users to send and receive money by placing their phones near each other.

Ripple also partnered with Clear Junction, an electronic money institution. This partnership aims to expand cross-border payments between the UK and other European countries.

On June 12, Ripple launched a $640 million investment fund. It targets blockchain innovations in Japan and South Korea.

The company has hinted at exploring markets outside the United States. This comes amidst ongoing legal battles with US financial regulators.
