Needs Attention
This section highlights layaways that require your manual intervention. A layaway appears here when it has reached a terminal status (Expired or Canceled) but its linked Shopify order is still active (not archived). Specifically:
- Expired layaways with open orders -- The layaway deadline passed, but there is still an open Shopify order. The customer may have made partial payments that need to be refunded or the order needs to be canceled.
- Canceled layaways with open orders -- The layaway was canceled (order refunded/voided), but the Shopify order may still need cleanup.
These layaways will remain in "Needs Attention" until you resolve the order and it gets archived in Shopify. Once the order is archived, the layaway archives automatically and disappears from this list.
Each item links directly to the layaway detail page so you can take action — use the "View Order" button to go to the Shopify order and resolve it.

Tip: Check this section regularly. These are situations the app cannot resolve automatically -- they need a human decision.
Recent Activity
The bottom of the dashboard shows the 10 most recent layaway events, giving you a quick log of what has been happening. This includes new layaways, status changes, payments, and other updates.
