3. On the **New Payment** page, select one of the following **Quote Type** options from the drop-down list.
  - **Sending Amount**: Select this option if you want to specify the amount to be sent prior to factoring in the FX and cost.
  - **Receiving Amount**: Select this option if you want to specify the amount to be received after FX and fees have been applied.
4. In the **Amount** field, enter the amount of the currency you want to send or you want the beneficiary to receive.
If you specified an amount to be sent (instead of received), the **Payment Currency** field, which allows you to select the sending currency, will be displayed. `USD` is currently the only available sending currency supported by Ripple Payments Direct.
5. In the **Receiver Country** field, select the country where the beneficiary is located from the drop-down list.For an overview of all supported payout countries and currencies, see [Payout network](/products/payments-direct-2/v2025.11/introduction/payout-network).
In the **Advanced Options** section, you can define advanced quote details. For example, you can specify a receiver RippleNet account or a sender segregated account, apply a currency filter, specify an exchange rate fee, and other payment specifics. For more information, see [Advanced options](/products/payments-direct-2/v2025.11/user-interface/payments/new-payment-form#advanced-options).


1. Click **Get Quote**.


The **New Payment** page shows you a quote for the payment you initiated. The quote expires after one minute. If the quote expires, you have to get a new quote by creating a new payment using the same field values.

Note
The **Payments** page lists all payments, with the most recent payment on top. After you accept the quote, you can select your payment and in the payment details you'll see the payment hopper . The payment hopper shows each payment state transition and the elapsed time between the payment states. Changes in green show successful states, changes in red show stalled or failed states.
