Point of Sale Settings: Layaway

Configure Your Layaways

You can get to this part of the system by clicking on the gear-shaped button on the right side of our blue Admin Toolbar, click Settings, then click POS Settings > Layaway.

1. Deposit - You can set the system to take deposits, if you like. They can either be a percentage of the total or a set dollar amount.
2. Minimum Purchase - At what purchase total is it worth your time to facilitate a layaway? Set the amount in here so that purchases for this module have to meet that minimum in order to be set up.
3. Payment Interval Default - You can set your Layaway payments to be scheduled on a Weekly, Bi-Weekly, or Monthly basis.
4. Term (Number of Months) - Set any number of months the customer may want for the term of the layaway. It can always be paid off early, if the customer likes.
5. Service Fee - If you wish to apply a fee to cover the labor in facilitating the layaway and possibly 'renting' the storage space, set the amount that makes sense to you.
6. Cancellation Fee - You can either set a fixed dollar amount as a cancellation fee or you can make the deposit non-refundable by checking the box that says Same as Deposit.
7. Late Fee - If you apply a late fee, please note that they are cumulative, and will trigger the late fee as a new period starts. For example, if a customer's layaway is set to be paid on weekly and they are four weeks behind, their late fee would have triggered four times. So if their late fee is $10, they will owe $40 in late fees!
