Put items on layaway
At New Sale, add the items, attach the customer and press Layaway to take a deposit; pickup is a normal register sale for the balance.
Steps
- Ring up the items and attach the customer with Find customer.
- Press Layaway under Pay, enter the Deposit, pick Paid by, and press Take deposit & hold.
- To take another payment, open Sell → Layaways, open the layaway, enter the amount and press Take payment.
- When they collect, press Pick up at New Sale. The items load with what's been paid; take the balance like any sale.
- To cancel, press Cancel layaway… — each deposit is given back the way it was paid.
Good to know
- Layaway has to be turned on for your store (Admin → New Sale → Layaway). If you don't see it, ask FoolProof to enable it.
- Card deposits are recorded, not charged: run the card on the terminal as its own charge. Cash goes into an open drawer.
- Nothing is sold until pickup — the ID check, stock and the receipt happen then, like any sale.
- The last payment is always the pickup sale; a payment that would pay it off in full is refused on the Layaways page.
- Gift cards can't go on layaway.
