# coreSTORE - Sales: Processing a Layaway


A layaway is a purchasing arrangement where a customer reserves an item with a retailer by making a deposit and paying the balance over time, usually in installments. The retailer holds the item until the full payment is made, allowing the customer to take possession of the item afterward. It's a convenient way for customers to purchase items without having to pay the full price upfront, and it enables retailers to secure sales for high-ticket items.
