General FAQs
The eLayaway system integrates into our merchant’s existing e-commerce solutions. Once the system is integrated our members are able to purchase products the merchant is offering through eLayaway. Once a product is selected, our member chooses the payment term, amount and frequency that fits into their budget. The agreed upon payments are automatically deducted via ACH. Once the transaction is paid in full the merchant will ship the product.
