Taking advantage of Amazon’s layaway program can be a great way to pay for an item over time. Prices for a product or service you are shopping for can vary widely from one retailer to the next.

If an item you’re looking at is eligible for layaway, you’ll see a tag that says Reserve with Layaway — you may also see this when you add it to your cart. If you don’t see it, your item likely isn’t eligible for layaway.
