How does Laybuy work?
Laybuy offers online shoppers a simple interest free payment plan that lets you secure your purchase today and pay for it in 6 equal payments, once a week for 6 weeks.
Laybuy performs a credit check to obtain a credit score on all new users upon registration. Once your credit score has been confirmed and your account has been verified, Laybuy assigns your Laybuy limit and you can begin shopping immediately.
The first payment equal to one sixth of the purchase price occurs once your order is completed. The remaining 5 payments are processed each week on the day of the original purchase from your nominated card. No further action is required and all account information including a payment schedule can be viewed, at any time, through your Laybuy account.
Once you select Pay by Laybuy at checkout and complete your purchase, the merchant/retailer ships any products directly to you at the delivery address you have requested.
How much does Laybuy cost and is there a fee?
Laybuy doesn't charge you any interest or upfront fees.
If you miss a payment you will be notified immediately. A late payment fee (£6 GBP / $8 USD / $10 NZD or AUD) may be charged in respect of each payment you fail to make on time. Any payment default may also result in our debt collection service contacting you and/or your credit score being affected.

Card Errors
If you see the error There has been an error processing your request when attempting to add a new card or make a payment, there are a few things to check:
1) Does the card have sufficient funds? (if you are adding a new card to your account, you will need to have a minimum amount of $1/£1)
2) Is the card valid or expired?
3) Has the correct CVC been added?
4) Is your bank blocking the transactions?
If you are still having trouble adding a card, or making payment, please contact the team via Submit a Request and we can help you further 🙂
What if I can't make my payment?
When a payment for an instalment fails, we send you an email to let you know straight away that this has failed. The payment will then be attempted again 24 hours later and if this fails a late fee is applied. If this instalment remains unpaid for a further 7 days, another fee will be applied.
To avoid late fees, be sure to log into your account and click Pay Now next to this declined instalment to bring this back up to date 🙂
To ensure you don't get into too much trouble, Laybuy will not allow you to make a new purchase until your declined payments (instalments and late fees), are all paid.
We understand that things can happen and circumstances changes so we have a Laybuy Financial Assistance and Hardship page that provides further information on how we can help.
