    Purchase notifications to help curb habitual spending

    Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    First, welcome to the Xbox community. Unfortunately at the moment, there is no such option, as this configuration only exists for the family organizer to know what the members are spending money on, but there is an alternative where children will be required to request permission from a guardian before shopping, if you want to activate this option, follow the instructions in the article below, please.

    *Thank you in advance for contacting the community, I hope this can help you.

    Parents/owners of family group notifed

    Hi WillDevons, my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

    No, parents will not receive notifications when a child purchases a subscription if spending notifications are disabled for the child's account.

    Spending notifications are a setting that allows parents to receive notifications when their children make purchases in the Xbox Store. If spending notifications are turned off, parents will not receive notifications about purchases made by the child, including the purchase of a subscription.

    To turn off expense notifications for a child's account, follow these steps:

    -Open the Xbox app on your console.
    -Press the Xbox  button to open the guide.
    -Select Profile & system > Settings > Account.
    -Select Family.
    -Select the child's name.
    -Scroll down to the "Notifications" section.
    -Uncheck the "Notify me about this family member's purchases" box.

    Once you have turned off spending notifications, parents will not receive notifications when their child purchases a subscription. However, parents will still be able to see the child's purchases in their purchase history.

    For your reference, I have included a link where you can find more details about the solution I suggested.

    I hope the information I gave you has been useful to you, have a happy day.

    Curb Stomp?

    I would assume so when they bring back execution. Seeing as DBNO is part of the playlist but who knows if itll have it. I'm sure someone will have a better answer with a source lol
