Requirements

Make sure the following are available before installing
the WooCommerce Layaway & Bill Pay Plugin.

Install the Plugin

Activate the Layaway Plugin

Where to Find Your Activation Key

Your Layaway Invoice activation key can be found in
the email sent after purchase.

You can also locate the activation key by viewing your
subscription from the My Account area.

Enter your Layaway license key and activate the plugin.

Configure Layaway Settings

4.1

Test or Live mode.

Create or access your Authorize.Net account and
enter the appropriate API credentials into the
plugin settings.

For production credentials, log into the
Authorize.Net Merchant Interface and navigate to:

Account → Settings → API Credentials & Keys

When finished, click Save.

Open Authorize.Net →

4.2

Email & Notification Settings

Configure the default email information used when
new layaway orders or invoices are created.

  sender address for customer emails.
• Email Subject — default
  subject for new order emails.

  in the email.

4.3

Typography & Plugin Color

Enter your desired base color. The selected color
is used throughout the layaway plugin, settings
tabs and invoice pages.

Click Save after entering the color.

4.4

Partial Payment

Set the percentage of the total WooCommerce order
customers must pay when starting a layaway.

For example, entering 30% means a
customer purchasing a $1,000 product would pay
$300 at checkout and the remaining $700 would
become the layaway balance.

Use the Yes / No setting to enable or disable
partial-payment layaway at WooCommerce checkout.

4.5

Layaway Invoice Expiration

Enter the number of days customers have to finish
paying their layaway or invoice.

Click Save after setting the
expiration period.

Enable Layaway at WooCommerce Checkout

When checkout layaway is enabled, customers can select
the layaway option while completing their WooCommerce
order.

Automatic Customer Payment Email

After a customer completes checkout using layaway,
an automatic email is sent with instructions for
accessing and paying the remaining balance.

The same type of email is used when you manually
create a layaway invoice.

The customer email includes:

• Original transaction amount
• Remaining balance
• Link to the customer’s My Account area
• Instructions for making additional payments
• Layaway expiration date

Manually Create a Layaway or Invoice

Manual invoices are useful for in-store purchases,
bill pay, service invoices and other balances that
don’t originate from WooCommerce checkout.

Click Add New Invoice.

Enter the Invoice Details

Complete the appropriate information including the
invoice name, customer information, address, invoice
amount, purpose and invoice title.

Publish the Invoice

Click Publish when the invoice
information is complete.

After the invoice is published, confirmation is sent
to the store owner and an email containing the payment
link and instructions is sent to the customer.

How Customers Make Additional Payments

Customers receive an email containing a link to their
WooCommerce My Account area.

They can also log into the website normally and navigate to:

From there, the customer can view the amount due and
select the payment option for the invoice.

Submit a Payment

After selecting the invoice, the customer enters the
amount they would like to pay toward their balance and
submits the payment.

Customers can make either a partial payment or pay the
remaining balance in full.

Paid in Full
