# How to manually credit bonuses to clients

You can manually credit bonuses to clients by either creating a custom manual bonus or selecting a bonus from an existing temporary bonus program.

To manually credit a bonus to a client:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to **Bonuses** > **Bonus distribution**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Create** in upper-right page corner, and then select either of the two options:

* **Create** — to credit a custom manual bonus.
* **Create temporary bonus** — to credit a bonus from an existing temporary bonus program.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the **Accounts** popup, locate the client account to which you want to credit the bonus, then click **Select** on the right side of the account row.

You can search for the account by **Account ID**, **Account number**, **Currency**, or **Client name**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
On the displayed page, fill in the fields based on the type of bonus:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="For manual bonuses" %}

* In the **Amount** field (required), enter the bonus amount that you want to credit to the account.
* In the **Caption** field (required), enter the bonus name, which will be displayed to the client in the B2CORE UI.
* In the **Preset** dropdown, optionally select a preset to automatically fill in the remaining fields based on preset settings.

  Alternatively, leave the **Preset** field empty and fill in the remaining fields manually (refer to the [Bonus presets](https://docs.b2core.b2broker.com/back-office-guide/bonuses/bonus-presets) or field descriptions).
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="For temporary bonuses" %}

* In the **Temporary bonus** dropdown, select the temporary bonus program from which the bonus will be credited.

All settings of the select temporary bonus program will be applied to the bonus for the client.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Save** to credit the bonus.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Depending on the **Set credit immediately** option and the presence of other credited bonuses, the bonus will be credited to the client account either immediately or after the previous bonus has been processed and assigned a final status (`Completed` or `Expired`).
