Windows 10: Purchasing software for child's computer using funds added to child's account.

I added funds to my child's account so that he could purchase the Minecraft Starter Edition on his computer. When I received the adult/parent approval request, I clicked on the "approve" option. Instead of allowing him to purchase it with the funds I added to his account, it is requiring me to pay for it out of my own account. How do I allow him to purchase it with the funds I already put into his Microsoft Account?

Adding a child to xbox - adding funds issue

Hi,

I am attempting to add a child through the family section on Xbox and it is asking for 50p to be added to the child account before I can do this. My issue is that on my Microsoft account on the section to add funds on to child's account it continuously says
please try later. Please can you advise on how to proceed so that my child can use the Xbox

Kind Regards

 

Authorizing a child purchase results in being prompted to add money to the account despite enough credit for the purchase

September 2020... still the exact same problem, getting caught in a loop after adding funds.

As per SoggyStargazer suggestion:

1. Add the required funds.
2. Select Spending on the child account
3. Turn off 'Needs organizer approval to buy things'
4. Get the child to logout of their account
5. Get them to purchase whatever it is again, this time they should be able to spend the balance without requesting approval
6. Once done turn ON 'Needs organizer approval to buy things'

What is even more annoying is that you can't add the exact funds. My child wants to buy a £3.20 add on, yet I can only add a minimum of £10.

What happens to the remaining £6.80? I don't know, but it also states very clearly that you can get no refunds. Also sniffing around there seems to be no way to transfer balances from account to account within a family.

This is extremely bad.

 

My child can't access fund in family account

My child can't access the funds in the family account to purchase Robux, even after I've approved the purchase several times. After I've given permission for the purchase, every time he clicks to buy Robux in his account, he is required to ask permission again.
When I click 'approve', it asks me to add funds for the purchase. There are enough funds in the account to make the purchase. This is now in an endless loop, which I can't get out of. Why?
