# 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.
