Customers are eligible to choose lease option only when the transaction amount is $199 or more.

Sears Holdings chief digital officer Leena Munjal said: “This programme gives a much-needed financial solution to those unable to purchase on credit, secure credit, or because of immediate need, can’t use layaway.

“We are excited to bring this payment option to all our digital channels so members have the ability to lease products online, through our mobile apps, or in-store. This is another example of how we are continually innovating to make online shopping a positive experience.”
