This guide will walk you through the process, address common mistakes, and help you ensure your transactions are successful. Understanding the Problem You have a custom token (in this case, the SOX token) that you wish to send from one wallet to another on the XRP Ledger. After setting up a trust line for the receiving account, you decide to initiate the transfer programmatically using JavaScript. However, despite your efforts, the transaction doesn't go as planned.

Destination Tags: If destination tags are enabled for the recipient account, failing to include them can lead to transaction failures. Transaction Formatting: Incorrectly structured transaction objects can lead to submission errors.
