Requesting and Approving Payouts

A payout is when a kid actually spends (redeems) their points on a reward.

How a kid requests a payout

  1. In Kid Mode, go to Rewards.
  2. Pick a reward from the family's preset list (or a custom amount, if allowed).
  3. Tap Redeem — this creates a pending payout and reserves the points so they can't be spent twice.

How a parent approves it

  1. Go to Payouts on the parent dashboard.
  2. Review the pending request.
  3. Approve once you've actually given the kid the reward (screen time, treat, etc.) — this finalizes the point deduction.
  4. Cancel if the payout shouldn't go through — the reserved points are returned to the kid's balance.
