Pay On Your Schedule.
Centerfire’s Layaway Installment Program (CLiP) lets you lock in what you want today and pay over the next 90 days — no extra financing, no hidden fees.
Four Simple Steps
From checkout to shipping — here’s exactly what happens when you place a CLiP order.
Shop & Add To Cart
Browse our full inventory and add eligible items to your cart. Most items qualify — exceptions are noted below.
Choose Layaway At Checkout
Select Layaway as your payment method. We’ll email an invoice the next business day with a link to pay.
Pay At Your Pace
Confirmation payment due day 5. Pay the balance any time before day 90 — on your schedule.

Layaway FAQ
Why did the layaway minimums change?
Due to a high volume of orders, and in an ongoing effort to provide the best service to our customers, we made updates to our CLiP program. These changes give you the comfort of knowing you can afford the items you want on your terms — without extra financing or hidden fees.
Why can’t I place any more orders on layaway?
If you’ve placed more than 3 orders on layaway without confirming or settling them, you’ll be ineligible to put an order on layaway for 6 months. Give our customer service team a call to go over your specific situation.
I paid more than $50 to confirm. Will I forfeit my entire down payment if I cancel?
No. Only $50 is non-refundable, regardless of how much was put down up front.
How do I make payments on my layaway?
You’ll receive an invoice in your email with a link to make payments. We recommend flagging this email so you can reference that link whenever you want to pay down the balance.
What happens if I forget I placed a layaway?
It happens — that’s why we send reminders. We send one about half-way through the 90-day term and another around 2 weeks before expiration.
