Why this exists
My wife sells vintage and antique jewelry as The Patinaed Pineapple. Her layaways lived in DM threads and handwritten notes, and keeping track of who had paid what took more time than it should. I built LayawayTracker so she could offer payment plans without the bookkeeping. Now I think it’s ready for other independent sellers too.
We’re small, so your input goes straight to the person building it. If a feature would make your life easier, tell us. We can usually add it quickly.
Try it
Build a plan. Watch it work.
Pick a price and a schedule, then log a payment the way you would in the app. This is the same math your real plans use.

Paying extra moves the next due date forward. A partial payment doesn’t.

Every 2 weeks
What your customer sees on their private link. It updates as you log payments.
Automatic reminders
Reminders go out so you don’t have to chase.
Pick when your customer hears from you: a day or a few days before each payment, on the due date, or every few days while a payment is late. Each email has the amount due and a one-tap pay button.
- Set per layaway, so regulars and new buyers can differ
- Late reminders stop after four, so nobody gets nagged forever
- Comes from your shop name, and replies go straight to you

- Six schedule types, plus an optional paid-off-by date
- Monthly plans stay on the same day, even after the 31st
- Edit the schedule or payment amount any time

Made for special pieces
Pieces like these deserve better than a spreadsheet.
Vintage, antique, and one-of-a-kind jewelry often sells to someone who needs a few months to pay. LayawayTracker keeps that promise organized for both of you, from the deposit to the day it ships.

- What is layaway tracking software?
- Layaway tracking software keeps every layaway plan you offer in one place: the item, the total price, the deposit, the payment schedule, what’s been paid, and what’s still owed. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, notes, and DM threads, you and your customer both see the same up-to-date balance.
- How does LayawayTracker work?
- You create an agreement with the item, price, deposit, and schedule. LayawayTracker gives you a private link to send your customer, where they can watch their progress and pay each installment. You log payments as they arrive, the dashboard flags anyone who falls behind, and reminder emails go out automatically.
- What payment schedules can I offer?
- Weekly, every two weeks, twice a month on the 1st and 15th, monthly on the same day, every so many days or weeks, or no fixed schedule with a paid-off-by date. You can add a paid-off-by date to any plan and change the schedule later if your customer’s situation changes.
- What happens if a customer stops paying?
- Mark the layaway as defaulted. Due dates and automatic reminders stop, the balance stays on record as still owed, and your customer’s page simply says the layaway is no longer active. If they start paying again, log the payment and reopen it, and the schedule picks up from what they’ve paid. If you both agree to call it off, cancel it instead.
- How much does LayawayTracker cost?
- Free for up to 3 active layaways at a time, with every feature included. Pro is $12 a month or $99 a year for unlimited active layaways. Completing, cancelling, or closing a layaway frees up a spot. During early access everything is free with no limit, and we’ll email you before pricing begins.
- Does LayawayTracker process payments or take a cut?
- No. LayawayTracker links customers directly to the PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle account you already use, so there is no payment processor in the middle and no transaction fee added on top.
- Can my customers check their layaway balance themselves?
- Yes. Every layaway agreement gets its own private page showing the piece, the amount paid, the remaining balance, and the next due date. No account, app, or password required.
- Who is LayawayTracker for?
- Small independent sellers: vintage and antique dealers, jewelers, artists, and makers who sell one-of-a-kind pieces, often on Instagram, to buyers who need a little time to pay.
