The module only allow to add the recipient email based on token. Can we have an option to use both the token or able to manually type the recipient email on that field?

What is the use case? (You are sending many emails to the same recipient. The normal usage is one mail to many users.)

Partly work-around: Add a fixed text field ("Global: Custom text") to the view and use that as the recipient address.

PS! Maybe you shouldn't use Views Send, but rather the mail action of VBO?

No. I created a views page for the list of purchased products then the admin can send this order to their accounting or on the production department. Instead of using the views token, is it possible to enter the address manually so that they can send email respectively? Im using Views send module on this

So you are sending one mail to one fixed address (with data from a View). You can do this with the mail action of VBO. If you prefer to use Views Send, use the work-around - enter the address(es) of their accounting or on the production department as fixed field(s) in the View.

PS! Additional benefit: You avoid typos when people enter an address manually.

Got an error " field used for recipient's e-mail contains an invalid e-mail address in all selected rows..." I used global custom text. I guess global custom text is not working as field on email recipient

Are you sure that the field contains just the plain email address and no HTML or extra text?
