# Manual Payments Manual Payments let you grant access to packages without requiring a live transaction. This is useful for: * Testing newly created packages before making them publicly available * Issuing packages to team members, testers, or specific customers at no cost > ⚠️ **Important:** Manual Payments are intended for internal or promotional use only. Do not use them to simulate real-money purchases on your own store, as this may violate Tebex compliance guidelines. *** ### When to Use Manual Payments * To test package functionality (e.g., delivery, in-game triggers) * To grant free access to a package (e.g., for giveaways or moderation roles) * For QA and internal testing across different platforms > 🛑 **FiveM Asset Access Note:**\ > If you use a Manual Payment to grant access to a FiveM asset, **you will not be able to revoke that access later**. For asset testing, we recommend using Test Mode as outlined in our How to Test a Package article. *** ### How to Create a Manual Payment 1. Navigate to **Payments** in the left-hand sidebar of your Control Panel. 2. Click **Create Payment** in the top-right corner. 3. In the **Customer** field, enter the customer's username or UUID. 4. (Optional) Add the customer's email address (used for internal records only). 5. (Optional) Add a price (informational only; does not affect reporting or billing). 6. (Optional) Add a note explaining the reason for the Manual Payment. > 📌 Notes are not visible to the customer, but can be seen by other Team Accounts. 7. Select the package(s) to be included in the Manual Payment. 8. Click **Create**. Once created, the package(s) will be delivered to the customer within a few minutes. *** ### Managing Manual Payments * You can view all Manual Payments from the **Payments** page in your Control Panel. * To delete a Manual Payment, click into the individual payment and select **Delete**. > 🚫 Deleting a Manual Payment does **not** undo any associated in-game delivery. > ⚠️ **Manual vs. Real Transactions:**\ > Do not process real-money transactions using your own store account. Doing so may raise fraud concerns and trigger review by the Tebex Compliance Team. ### **Prefer a Video Walkthrough?** Here's how to use Manual Payments to test your packages. {% embed url="" %} --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
