Create your FlexiLay account

How you start depends on where you sell:

Shopify — install the FlexiLay app; your account is created and approved automatically.
WooCommerce — install the plugin; your store registers itself and we approve it quickly.
Odoo — install the module; same self-registration flow.
Everyone else (invoice businesses, custom sites, in-person) — sign up at my.flexilay.com/auth/register. New accounts get a quick review; you'll receive an email when you're approved.

Complete onboarding

Your dashboard shows a short checklist: accept the merchant terms and connect your Stripe account. Stripe is where your money goes — FlexiLay schedules and collects the payments, but never holds your funds. No Stripe account yet? The connect step creates one as you go.

Create your first plan

Three ways, use whichever fits:

At checkout — on Shopify, WooCommerce and Odoo eCommerce, customers simply pick FlexiLay as their payment method. Nothing to do.
From the dashboard — Create Plan, enter the amount and the customer's details, and FlexiLay emails them a secure setup link. Invoice businesses: connect Xero / QuickBooks and create plans straight from unpaid invoices on their dashboard tab.
From your own site — custom-built stores create plans through the API.

Either way, the customer lands on a secure FlexiLay page, chooses their deposit and schedule, and pays the deposit by card (Apple Pay / Google Pay supported). The plan is now active.

Try it risk-free: turn on Test Mode in Settings and walk the whole flow yourself without a real charge. See Settings & fees.

Get paid — automatically

FlexiLay charges each instalment on schedule, sends the customer receipts and reminders, retries failed payments, and emails you when a plan is paid in full. Watch everything from your dashboard: every plan, every payment, and what's outstanding. Since FlexiLay is lay-by, hand over the goods when the plan completes.
