This experience from Put it on Lay-buy for my customers is just great, it is easy to use and gives the customer the ease of low monthly payment for their product. I would highly recommend this app. Thank you, Shop Mrs. Claus and Santa. Show more

Lay Buys has filled a need for diversity of payment options on our website for over a year now. We've never had any issues with customers struggling to understand the process and whenever I've contacted customer service, I've always received a speedy response. I also love the lack of a monthly subscription. Some of the reviews here mystify me a bit - the whole point of a lay by is that you're paid in installments by the customer and they don't receive their product till they've paid in full - it's not a credit service. Hence the name 'Lay Buys'. Not sure if this is the right service if that's only what you're looking for. We have both on our site - more options for our customers. We've been really happy with Lay Buys! Show more

I was never able to use the app. My shop has its own domain and i kept getting redirected to lay buys homepage. under their forms to set everything up it shows shopify as an option but your store has to have the "myshopify.com" in the domain. It was extremely frustrating to try and figure out and after an hour I gave up. Show more

Honnestly, this app should get a serious review of the Shopify app store... The first red flag for me was that the copyright on their user-interface says 2014... I mean, in how far should you trust a payment gateway system that hasn't updated their copyright since 2014, or even taken the time to add the necessary code that shows the current year? (What about GDP regulations of 2019?) I installed the app and honestly was very skeptical from the start: there are countless grammar errors on the user-facing side of the app, the whole user experience doesn't make any sense, as it displays different installation processed in different places + it seems like there are no actual fixed names for any of the functionalities. I believe that this app was written by a single person, which also leaves me a little worried. Now, the actual installation doesn't actually work... The "install embedded app", which I believe should either take you to an app that would create an embed on the front end of the website or install the code for it, simply redirects you to the first page of the app. I then contacted support, which I believe wrote the app (Warrin), he didn't address the issue that I mentioned in my message but instead asked me to "Then finally do a copy of your PayPal credentials into your dashboard, per steps below". Strangely enough, the app doesn't have any inputs for these Paypal credentials, which I also mentioned in my message, but he didn't address the issue. Then, what I found very strange, is that the app and he specifically ask you for the Paypal credentials. (Email address + Password + Signature). * This is against Paypal's terms. A third-party app that functions with Paypal, should make use of the technology using API keys or webhooks, and never ask a user for the account email or password directly. Anyway, I now deleted the app from the store, and I believe that Shopify should seriously review this, and I believe that the developer should make sure to update the app, remove the bugs, have a clear user experience (not use different terms in different places), and review its functionality to ensure it's actual operations are legal. I wouldn't waste my time downloading, as the actual app simply doesn't even work... Show more

BEWARE! If you uninstall this app, it still shows on your website and people will continue being able to use it!! I just found that out the hard way. Erg! Also, there is no way to set a minimum order amount. If a customer buys a $1 product, they can put it only Lay-Buy. Crazy! :-( I would have kept the app if there was a way to set a minimum order amount. It really messes the flow of things up when I have a bunch of $1-$5 orders pending. Show more

From the start of offering this additional payment method for customers, it has been nothing but a huge disappointment! Having to take time to address customers questions in regards to how it works to then the customers who used it to then just cancel it. Having customers file claims with Pay Pal because of the lack of information on how the payment platform works. I just yesterday got a new claim from a customer over this. It has been aggravating, time-wasting, and worst of all the person who handles customer service which his title is Chief Executive has NOT been helpful at all. Only more of waistful time! Show more
