# Manual course payment

 * Hey, I’m looking to add a manual payment via a link but I have two issues :
 * 1. The link doesn’t show up as a link when I hyperlink it.
   2. If someone clicks
   on “Pay now” they can still access the course although they may not have clicked
   on the link and paid!
 * I know Paypal is the default “free” option but is there anyway of switching it
   out for Stripe ?!
 * Is there any way to remedy any of this?
 * Many thanks,
 * Sam

 * Hi Sam,
 * Thank you for reaching out.
 * Regarding the manual payment option:
    1. The manual payment method is intended to display payment instructions rather
       than a fully functional payment gateway. Because of that, hyperlinks may not
       behave as expected in some cases depending on how they are added.
    2. When using Manual Payment, students are typically granted access based on the
       order workflow configured for the manual payment method. Since Tutor LMS cannot
       automatically verify whether an external payment has actually been completed,
       it is not suitable when you need automatic payment verification before course
       access is granted.
 * If your goal is to collect payments via an external payment link and only grant
   access after confirming payment, you would need a custom workflow or manual enrollment
   process after verifying the payment.
 * Best regards,
   Dip SahaTutor LMS Support Team
