If you've just created a package and you want to test it before putting it live on your store, or you want to give a customer a package for free, you can do just that by creating a manual payment. To create a manual payment:

1. Go to **Payments**.
2. Click **Create A Manual Payment**.
3. Enter the **username** of the customer you want to give the package to.
4. Enter an optional **price** (This won't affect your statistics and won't charge the customer).
5. Enter an optional **note** of why you are creating this manual payment.
6. Select the **packages** you want to include in this payment and give them to the customer.
7. Click **Create**.

The customer will now receive these packages within the next few minutes in-game.

## Points to note

* If you are using Tebex Checkout for your store, making payments to yourself on your own store will be considered suspicious and will be investigated by our compliance team. To avoid unnecessary downtime of your store and inconvenience, please under no circumstances make real money payments to your own store to test product delivery methods.
* Manual payments can be deleted - but genuine transactions that have involved the exchange of funds are not deletable.
