Installment plan
With installment buying you make a down payment, take the item and use it while paying for it. Wit layaway, you make a down payment, pay for the item over a period of time, and take it home once it is fully paid for.
If you have some kind of policy that "the item will not be sent until payment is received", you should be fine.If you have no intention of sending the item, you're a scam artist, and may not only be sued, but arrested for fraud. However, you can easily argue that a "pending payment" is not a valid "payment".Once the payment is valid, I suggest you get the ball rolling, and immediately send the item that, at that point, legally belongs to the individual who bought it.Side Note: Perhaps, explaining that you'll send the item when the payment is valid, will calm the individual down.
After a customer inquire about the cost of an item, he requests a quote on the item. If he likes the price, he will then place an order. The company will then issue a proforma invoice detailing all relevant information as cost, payment terms and method of delivery. The customer then makes his payment according to the terms of the proforma invoice, and the product is then shipped to the customer.

Down payments are meant to protect businesses and companies from people who neglect to complete their payments on large purchases. In the event a person making payments defaults or refuses to pay, the down payment ensures the company has not lost all of the money the item being paid for was worth.
Some synonyms for the word "product" include item, merchandise, goods, and article.

When purchasing an item, if it cost a large amount of money, you would be required to pay part of the cost up front. Such as when renting an apartment, you need to put down a deposit. Same idea.
