# Payments Overview

The **Payments** section of your Control Panel provides a comprehensive view of all customer transactions across your Tebex store. This includes both automatically recorded purchases and manually issued payments.

#### Transaction Details at a Glance

Each payment entry includes:

* Customer name and email address
* Purchased package details
* Payment amount and currency
* Purchase timestamp and transaction status

This information helps you track buyer activity, manage support queries, and maintain transparency across your store operations.

***

#### Manual Payments

Tebex also allows you to manually generate payments directly from the Control Panel. This feature is useful for:

* **Testing** your packages before launch
* **Issuing free items** to team members, influencers, or giveaway winners
* **Granting access** to specific packages as part of a promotional or loyalty campaign

> **Tip:** Manual payments are fully logged alongside standard transactions to preserve a complete purchase history.
