Direct check out question

[CaliforniaCrownJewel]

Hey team,
I need your help quick. I've got a potential buyer who wants to buy an expensive quilt in my shop and make $100 a month payments on it. Is there a way to set this up with Direct Checkout? Who would have an answer on this?
Thanks team for any help you can offer.
Blessings to you,
♡ Jewel

As far as I know, there isn't any way for them to purchase in installments through direct checkout.

What I would do is have them pay through paypal. You would set up the item to allow 'other' payment type and then invoice them through paypal. You can set up all of the invoices at once with the different due dates on them.

Be sure to include the shipping cost on the invoice as well. Once all the payments are made then you can ship the item.

I would also include a clause in the listing something along the lines of "this item will be paid for in installments with the last payment being made by xxxxx date. If the payments are not completed by xxx date, all payments will be forfeited and the sale will be cancelled'.

That will protect you from someone who says they want the item but forgets to make the payment.

If you take a look at my policies, you will see the wording that I use for my layaways.

I think forfeiting the payments made is too unforgiving.

I would cancel the listing and take a 10% relisting/reshelving fee but let them buy something less expensive or issue a refund.

I both agree and disagree with you Bev. It all depends on the circumstances. If you're selling a seasonal item on a layaway, then there really isn't any time to relist and sell it this year if the customer takes it off the market for a month or two, then changes their mind.

I agree with you, Jewel. The circumstances can certainly determine an item's salability after it has been removed for a time. I might be more forgiving if someone had paid most of the price and consider allowing it to be credited to a less costly item.
