We get it, sometimes people realize they’d rather go in a different direction. Walmart scrapped its layaway plan in lieu of one it deemed better. 

• Switch: The premise of the layaway plan was that a store would hold an item for a customer until they paid for it. But instead of holding the items, Walmart’s new system allows consumers to have their items immediately and pay over time. 
• Plan: The major retail company is partnering with Affirm, a lending business, to provide the new opportunity called “buy now, pay later.” Customers will pay through Affirm for approved items with payment plans up to 24 months.
