Can I manually add paid members?

I'll admit that I didn't read all the instructions before I began creating the site. I built my PayPal button in s2member but I had PayPal redirect to a Google doc for a registration form instead of the s2member registration form. Now I have members who have paid for a subscription to the site but are not listed as site members by s2member.
I guess I could add the users manually and send them their user id and password but I would rather let them choose their own user id.
If I send them the s2member registration link, will s2member know that they've paid (like a few days or weeks ago) by their email address? How does that work?
Thanks!
