# Alternatives to Stripe Connect

### 1. **Manual Fulfillment**

This method is ideal for agencies with the following characteristics:

* Use a payment processor other than Stripe.
* Are unable to use Stripe for billing.
* Prefer off-platform billing.
* Require a manual or "Done For You" (DFY) offer.
* Opt for unlimited usage by bypassing sub-account billing.

#### Steps:

1. Manually create a sub-account in your Stammer.ai admin dashboard.
2. Customize the account settings to align with your client's needs.
3. Handle billing and payment processing outside the platform.

#### Steps:
