Can I do Layby Sales with Square for Retail?

walker22 — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 09:23:57 GMT

I have a physical shop and sell some personalised products. With these I take a deposit from the customer and then they pay the balance on collection of the item.

With Vend/Lightspeed's POS I was able to enter this as a Layby Sale.

E.g. The item price is £50, the amount paid is £20 leaving a balance to pay of £30. When customer collects, the sale is retrieved and the customer pays the balance at which point the Layby is completed.

Does anyone know please if I can do something like this using Square POS app or Square for Retail App?

Hello @walker22

Using Square Invoices you can set up a payment schedule where a deposit is taken upfront with the remaining balance due on a separate date in the future.

In your example this should work as the invoice can be retrieved at any point and the remaining balance payment is taken.

Invoices is accessible in the Square POS app on Android and I assume it is also part of the iOS apps too.

Thanks,
