Here's the short of it, before you fall for a sofa you'd rather pay for in pieces.* Also asked as: Do you take Affirm for payment?; Is Klarna the only installment plan? > **The quick answer:** Klarna is the installment plan at marketplace checkout, and the workshop's own website offers Shop Pay installments instead; Affirm isn't offered. Asked about layaway, the shop points buyers to these installment plans, and one buyer used a pay-in-30-days option at checkout. The plan you see depends on where you place the order. ![Cream velvet floor sofa with deep navy ends in a pale gray room with a brass sculptural floor lamp and framed line art](https://cushionguide.com/media/modular-floor-sofas/navy-cream-velvet-floor-sofa-brass-floor-lamp-1600.webp "Navy velvet and a brass lamp give the modular floor sofa a more tailored, evening look.") ## Key facts - Klarna is the installment option at marketplace checkout. - The workshop's own website offers Shop Pay installments. - Affirm is not offered. - For layaway requests, the shop points to its installment options. - One buyer paid with a pay-in-30-days option at checkout. - A canceled order is refunded to the original payment method; how fast it shows depends on the bank. - Changes or cancellation are possible before production starts, so ask the workshop as early as you can. ## Klarna, Shop Pay and pay in 30 days - ✓ **Klarna**, at marketplace checkout. - ✓ **Shop Pay installments**, on the workshop's own website. - ✓ **Pay in 30 days**, an option one buyer chose at checkout. ## Is Affirm or layaway offered? - ✗ **Affirm.** It isn't offered at either checkout. - ✗ **Old-style layaway.** Asked about it, the shop pointed to the installment plans instead. ## Three things to settle before checkout 1. **Get the whole price**: Custom cushions and sofas are quoted by size, so ask for every piece in one message and plan around the full total, not the first cushion. 2. **Choose where to order**: The marketplace if you want Klarna; the workshop's own website if you want Shop Pay installments. 3. **Look for the plan at payment**: Installment choices appear at checkout, not in the quote. A pay-in-30-days option has shown up there as well. ## Pick where you order, and the plan follows The plan belongs to the checkout, not to the sofa. Order on the marketplace and Klarna is the one you'll see; order on the workshop's website and it's Shop Pay. Neither place offers Affirm, so don't go hunting for it, my friend. Price the whole order before you choose. The [quote checklist](https://cushionguide.com/guides/custom-cushion-quote-what-to-send/) says what to send, and for a [modular floor sofa](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/modular-floor-sofas/) the [floor sofa buying guide](https://cushionguide.com/guides/floor-sofa-buying-guide-height-space/) settles size and height first. Buy the cushion once, cry once. Have you priced the whole set yet, or only the first piece? > **Tailor's margin:** For a floor sofa on a payment plan, Klarna works at marketplace checkout and Shop Pay installments on the maker's own website; Affirm isn't offered. > Asked about layaway, the workshop points to installments instead: Klarna at marketplace checkout, or Shop Pay on its own website. > > — Harlan Pruitt ## Buyer questions **A common question:** Can I pay in installments, say with Affirm? **The workshop's answer:** The marketplace store offers Klarna installments, and the workshop's own website uses Shop Pay. Affirm isn't among the options. **A common question:** Is Klarna the only way to pay over time? **The workshop's answer:** At marketplace checkout, yes. The workshop's own website offers Shop Pay installments. **A common question:** Do you do layaway, or payments in parts? **The workshop's answer:** Products can be bought in installments through the available payment options; one buyer used a pay-in-30-days option. **A common question:** How is a custom window seat cushion priced? **The workshop's answer:** It's quoted by size (length x depth x thickness), and the quote states the shipping cost. The price rises with size and thickness; fabric barely changes it. ## Questions buyers ask next ### Where do I choose the payment plan? At checkout. Klarna appears as a payment option at marketplace checkout, and Shop Pay installments appear on the workshop's own website, so pick the storefront first and the plan follows from there. ### Does the workshop run its own financing? No in-house plan has been described. The installment options are the ones at checkout: Klarna on the marketplace and Shop Pay on the workshop's website, plus the pay-in-30-days option one buyer used. ### What does pay in 30 days mean? It's a checkout option that defers the full payment by 30 days instead of splitting it into installments. One buyer paid for an order that way; whether it shows up for you depends on the checkout you use. ## Related at the atelier - [Why did the cushion price suddenly go up, or even double?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/cushion-price-went-up-sale-ended/): If the price went up overnight, a limited-time sale has most likely just ended: the regular price comes back, and after a deep sale it can look almost twice the sale price. - [The sale ended just before I checked out.
