How do I stop purchases on my kids Xbox?

Hi Donna.

My name is Renato.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

With a family account, you can decide which things to authorize for your children and monitor their activities.

Press the Xbox button on the controller to open the Guide.
Select Profile & system, then sign in to your account.

Press the Xbox button again to open the Guide, then select Profile & system > Settings > Account > Family settings > Manage family members.

Select Add to family > Add new.

When prompted for an email address, enter the existing email address. If they don't have one, select Get a new email address.

Agree to the Microsoft Services Agreement and Privacy Statement.

An organizer must verify the addition of the member to the family group with a mobile device, PC, or Xbox console:

If you select This Xbox: enter your Microsoft account and then follow the steps to allow the creation of the member's account.
If you select From phone/PC: you'll be asked to provide your email address.
Enter it and then follow the steps in the email you receive to give consent for the creation of the member's account.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Kind regards

Also, you don't have to have a credit card attached to an account at all times. So you can remove it without messing with his account. If it is tied to an active gold subscription, you won't be able to remove it until the subscription ends though. After
you remove it, you can purchase prepaid gold cards in order for him to have a subscription without needing a card attached. Or also purchase Xbox gift cards to add money to his account if he does want to make a purchase.

I suggest you to set up parental controls in your console so you can keep the minor's account always under control. To do that check this support page with step by step instructions:

Hello "ABRAHAM 001"

.........

I babysit my friends kids and this is how it works when they're (parents) at work.

.........

(1) They set-up a schedule

(2) They call home to tell the kids that they can now play

(3) They call home and tell the kids to stop playing or else

(4) They ask me if the kids stopped playing when told to do so

(5) If yes, they will continue to have access to the game console. If no, they will not have access to the game console for whatever time they set the punishment for

.........

Have a nice day or afternoon or night "ABRAHAM 001"
