Send test payments
Use the Interledger Web Monetization browser extension to send payments to a web monetized site without using real money.
Install the extension
- Sign in to your wallet account.

Configure continuous payments (optional)
By default, the extension sends continuous payments at a rate of $0.60 USD an hour ($0.01 a minute), or the equivalent in your chosen currency based on the exchange rate.
To change the rate of pay:
- Click the Settings icon in the upper-right of the extension.
- Select the Rate tab, then enter the amount to send, per hour, to web monetized sites. Your changes are automatically saved.

Each payment appears within the Monetization events section on the test site.
If your extension is using USD with the default rate of $0.60 an hour, a new event appears on the site about every two minutes as long as the window is active. Continuous (streaming) Web Monetization payments stop when the window is inactive. Keep the window active until a few payment events appear. Then, sign in to your wallet account and select Transactions to see the payments you’ve sent.
