Tenancy agreement/rent collection

Am I able to have open rent still collect my rent without signing the tenancy agreement open rent suggest to use? There are a lot of contradictory clauses that I’ve been happy to remove or put in writing and it’s just more worth signing from both parties instead we have another tenancy agreement. Need advice as I feel like I’m just going in circles. First time(landlord)

Openrent rent collection is only available if you use Rent Now, and the Openrent standard tenancy agreement.

Be careful about changing or making up your own clauses, unless you have legal training.

As a first-time landlord, I’ve agreed with my tenant to use a custom tenancy agreement that better suits both parties, rather than the default OpenRent AST, which includes clauses we’ve mutually chosen to exclude.

Can OpenRent still collect rent if we’ve signed our own agreement outside the platform? I’d like to keep rent collection through OpenRent but avoid confusion with the standard contract.
