• The remaining 4 payments are automatically charged every 2 weeks

  You can manage your Layaway plan through your Amazon account. You can update your payment method, pay the next scheduled payment early, settle overdue payments, and pay off the remaining balance anytime for earlier delivery. To do so, click on My Orders > Order Details > Manage Payment Plans.

What happens if I miss a scheduled payment?

If payment fails, Amazon will notify you via email and alert you on the ‘Manage payment plans’ page of the unsuccessful payment attempt. If payment is not received before the next scheduled payment, we will automatically cancel the Layaway plan for that item and refund all amounts to the payment method used to make previous payments. We do not charge any fees for overdue or canceled Layaway plans. Please note that you will not be able to start additional Layaway plans if your current plan is overdue. If the outstanding balance is paid prior to the next scheduled payment, the plan will become current and additional purchases can be made with Layaway.

Can I change my payment date?

Once you have started your order on Amazon Layaway, the payment schedule cannot be changed. Payments are automatically charged every two weeks, beginning with the date you place you order. You can prepay your next scheduled payment or pay the full remaining balance at any time by going to My Orders > Order Details > Manage Payment Plans, and clicking on Pay early.

How are my payments calculated?

Your Layaway payments are calculated by dividing the total price of the item, excluding tax and shipping fees, into 5 payments. The first payment reserves your item and starts your Layaway plan. See the example below for an item that costs $169.99.
