About this Product
High-ticket retail doesn't fit Shopify's pay-in-full checkout. A customer wants the $4,200 sectional or the engagement ring held while they pay it off over six weeks — and Shopify has no native concept of a deposit, an installment schedule, or a timed stock reservation. Layaway, Deposits & Stock Reservations closes that gap.
This is a build-to-order app — ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs and supports it on your store. It is not an instant Shopify App Store download. After purchase we scope your layaway rules, build against your theme and POS, install it via a private OAuth app, and hand you a working system.
What it does. Staff can take a configurable deposit or partial payment at POS or online, generating a layaway plan with a defined installment schedule stored in order and customer metafields. The moment a plan is created, the app places an auto-expiring stock hold through the Admin GraphQL API against the correct location in your multi-location inventory, so reserved units stop overselling on every other channel. If a plan is cancelled or lapses, inventory is auto-restored and the unit returns to sellable.
It listens to Shopify webhooks (orders/paid, orders/cancelled, inventory level updates) to keep balances and holds in sync, sends balance-due reminders as installments come due, and offers a waitlist so customers can register interest in out-of-stock items and be notified when a reservation frees up.
Because we build it for your catalog, your deposit percentages, hold durations and reminder cadence are yours — not a rigid template. You own the result, and ECOSIRE provides post-launch support and updates.

Who this is for
Furniture & Home Retailer
Sells high-ticket sofas, dining sets and custom pieces where customers expect to put down a deposit and pay the rest over time while the item is held off the floor and out of other channels' sellable stock.
Jewelry Store Owner
Runs a boutique selling rings and watches where layaway is a normal purchase path. Needs a specific piece reserved, partial payments tracked, and balance reminders sent without manual spreadsheet juggling.
Multi-Location Specialty Retailer
Operates several showrooms on Shopify POS with shared online inventory. Needs deposits and stock holds to respect which location the unit lives at and never oversell a reserved item online.

Frequently Asked Questions about Layaway, Deposits & Stock Reservations
Is this an app I install instantly from the Shopify App Store?
No. This is a build-to-order app. ECOSIRE designs, builds and installs it on your store as a private OAuth app after purchase. You are buying a custom build and installation, not a self-serve App Store download. We configure it around your actual products, deposit rules and POS setup.
How long does delivery take after I purchase?
Typical delivery is around one working week from the kickoff call, depending on how custom your layaway rules, installment logic and POS workflows are. We start by scoping your requirements, then build, test on a development store, and install on your live store. We give you a firm timeline once we have scoped your specifics.
What ongoing support and updates do I get?
After launch, ECOSIRE provides ongoing support and maintenance, including keeping the app current with Shopify Admin GraphQL API version updates and webhook changes so it keeps working as Shopify evolves. Configuration tweaks to deposit percentages, hold durations or reminder cadence are part of supporting the system you bought.
How does it stop reserved items from overselling on my other channels?
When a layaway plan is created, the app places a stock hold against the specific location in your multi-location inventory using the Admin GraphQL API, which reduces sellable quantity everywhere Shopify syncs inventory. If the plan is cancelled or its hold expires, inventory is automatically restored to sellable. It listens to inventory and order webhooks to stay in sync.
Can customers start a layaway both in-store at POS and online?
Yes. Staff can take a deposit or partial payment at Shopify POS, and customers can start a plan online at checkout. In both cases the installment schedule and balance are stored in order and customer metafields, and the same stock-hold and reminder logic applies, so a piece reserved in-store behaves the same as one reserved online.
