A parent paying for a student

How to pay for someone else without sharing a login.

A parent or guardian can pay and have the access land on the student's account. Nobody needs to share a password.

  1. The student creates their own account and signs in.
  2. From their account, they open the checkout for the pass they want.
  3. The parent completes payment — card details go to our payment provider, not to the student and not to us.
  4. Access applies to the student's account.

Why not a separate parent accountLink to the section: Why not a separate parent account

Access is per account, so a pass bought on a parent account sits on the parent account. Buying from the student's session is what makes it land in the right place.

If the student is under 18Link to the section: If the student is under 18

Nothing about payment changes. What does change is the leaderboard default — see Under-18 accounts.
