Collecting Money Outside Simplero

Sometimes, your customers may pay you for a product outside of Simplero. It could be that they want to pay you cash, wire you money to your bank account, or maybe even send you money directly through PayPal. If you choose to collect money without them paying directly through Simplero, you will want to register the payment via a manual payment. 

Recording the Payment

1. Have the customer purchase the product. You have two options:
   • Option 1 - Create a free purchase. (You can do this by creating a $0 purchase price via a special link or by giving them the freebie link) and jump to step 2.
     
     
   • Option 2 - If you have a manual payment processor, you can get them to choose that payment processor when they purchase the product. 
     
     If you prefer to add the purchase yourself from the admin side directly. You can do it by following the instructions in this manual.
