# All about Profiles

### **What exactly is Profiles?**

The Profiles feature allows you to create an identity page and PayString so people can easily send you funds and locate your account on the XRPL.

Here’s what a Profile page looks like:

### **Why would I want to create a public Profile on the XRPL?**

It is a pretty cool way to represent yourself and it allows you to control your image in the XRPL community. You get your own personal page on the internet which provides an easy way for people to send you funds.

### **How do I access my Profile page?**

You just need to open your favorite internet browser and enter your Profile page address.

For example, to get to Kevin's page, you would enter:

[xumm.me/kevin](https://xumm.me/kevin)

In your case, your Profile page would match your identity much closer than Kevin's test page. So if your name is John Shepard, your Profile page could be:

<mark style="color:blue;">xumm.me/johnshepard</mark>

or if your name is Daniel Jackson, your Profile page could be:

<mark style="color:blue;">xumm.me/danieljackson</mark>

The general idea is that your Profile page matches your actual identity.

### What is my Paystring?

Your PayString address is an easy way for people to send you funds on the XRP Ledger.

In Kevin's case, his PayString is:

<mark style="color:blue;">kevin$xumm.me</mark>

If you wanted to send XRP to Kevin's account, you could always enter his r-address: **rUBvs5S....**

but many people have trouble remembering r-addresses. It is much easier to send the XRP to: **kevin$xumm.me**

Think of PayString like a phone book that links your r-address to an easy-to-remember PayString address.

### How can people find my PayString?

Since all Xaman Profile pages start with: **xumm.me/**\<yourname> you could simply tell people how to find your Profile page, or, since all PayStrings end with: \<yourname>**$xumm.me** your could simply tell them your PayString...but we have taken it one step further.

In Xaman, you can actually search for a PayString directly from the Send flow. In this case, we search for "kevin" and Xaman will display the results for you to choose.

It is just like a phone book, you can look up someone's r-address just by knowing their name! 🎉

### How do I create my Profile page?

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.xaman.app/app/xaman-pro/features-of-pro/profiles/all-about-profiles.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
