# 8.5: Spending a Transaction with a Bitcoin Script
Before we close out an overview of P2SH transactions, it's worth briefly discussing how to spend them!
> **NOTE:** This is a draft in progress, so that I can get some feedback from early reviewers. It is not yet ready for learning.
Before we close out this overview of P2SH transactions, we're going to touch upon how to spend them.
## Use the Redeem Script
As we saw in [§6.2: Spending a Transaction to a Multisig](6_2_Spending_a_Transaction_to_a_Multisig.md), spending a P2SH transaction is all about having that serialized version of the locking script, the so-called _redeemScript_. So, the first step to being able to spend a P2SH transaction is ensuring that you save the _redeemScript_ before you give out the P2SH address to everyone.

Because P2SH addresses aren't integrated into `bitcoin-cli` there will be no short-cuts as you saw in [§6.3: Sending an Automated Multisig](6_3_Sending_an_Automated_Multisig.md). You're going to need to collect all the more complex variables on your own!
